Doctor Sleep feels good to read and reread. The audiobook is also a delight.
Dan is so real, and it’s a sort of relief to know what happens to him. The True Knot feel like real villains. It’s classic King (the good and the bad that goes along with that). Ending is better than most of King’s backlist, imo. Didn’t quite nail it, but still pretty good.
This is also a rare case where the book and the movie are both good (though different) - thank you Mike Flanagan.
King is a little like comfort food; Doctor Sleep isn’t a perfect book by any means, but I can come back to it time and time again and enjoy it every time.
