I’ve never read nor seen the movie the Shining, which apparently is kinda a big deal. When I tell people that I haven’t seen the movie they look at me like I’m somewhat crazy. I do know the famous lines from it, but have never seen it. However, when I saw that the fairly new sequel to the Shining, Doctor Sleep was in at the library I wanted to read it. Not only was it new, but Stephen King books are always pretty solid.
As I was expecting, it was very good. I wouldn’t say it was scary or anything like that to me, but it was pretty exciting and I found myself doing the just one more chapter thing that I do when I’m reading a really good book.
I really like how common real life things are tied into the whole fictional mental stuff. Like the weird camper folk, etc. That was pretty cool.
I guess I probably should go out of order and read the Shining at some  point now.
