I don't think any book could have lived up as a sequel to The Shining. Doctor Sleep got pretty close! I loved the beginning, most of the middle, and especially the end. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this book has one of King's best endings ever, at least from the works that I've read. However there's just a few sections here and there that just kind of...drag. They're not boring by any means, but just overstay their welcome. However, this is pretty typical of King's writing, and some might even consider it his style. It just stood out a little bit more to me here because The Shining practically had no parts like this at all. Nonetheless, definitely a book that I plan on coming back to in a few years.
