Has anyone read Doctor Sleep? How is it?

Been reading Stephen King for the first time
Cranked through IT and The Shining. How’s Doctor Sleep?

Different from the Shining, but good visuals. It's a vampire-like story.
Easy read. Like King wrote a Chrichton novel.
I enjoyed it.

Why don't you focus on the good ones first? Read Salem's Lot next.

Like every other SK book- nice build up, but anticlimactic

Not that good

It was a very good continuation of the Torrance family story.

Everything until the end was good. The end was very generic.

It was cool enough. There was a lot of potential at the end that it did feel anti-climatic.
I liked being with Danny Torrence again though and hearing his story.

I really enjoyed it. I’ve read it a few times and it pushing for a spot in my top 5 favorite King books. I really enjoyed reading about grown up Danny and the other Torrence tie-ins.
I might be in the minority, but I’ve enjoyed his newer books since 2013 with Dr Sleep, Revival, and The Outsider. He seems to be a pretty good groove right now. Looking forward to reading The Institute after I finish up the last couple of Harry Bosch books.

It was just ok. If you like reading about AA and 12-step meetings, you will love it because that is half the book.

Same! I loved Doctor Sleep and I'm so happy that the movie is getting positive reviews. The audiobook was a great compliment.
I just cranked through Misery and now I'm working on 'Salem's Lot before I watch season 2 of Castle Rock.

Doctor Sleep was a great follow-up! As with many of King's books though, the ending is a bit flat.
Once get through Doctor Sleep I would suggest The Stand (haven't read Salem's Lot). King builds a very interesting world and populates it with some very interesting characters.

I thought dr sleep wash’s great. You may want to read some others though and give it some time. Part of what I loved about it was catching up with grown up Danny.
The Institute was really good too.
But I’m a fanboy and like pretty much all of them. Except Liseys story. I’ve tried to read that about 6 times. Never get past page 10.

I could never finish The Stand.
I tried reading it 3 separate times, last time probably 15 years ago.
I remember the first third of the book was one of the greatest things I’ve ever read.
Then the middle third was so unbelievably boring and tedious I could never get through it.

Reading it now.
Very cool how he brings in a character from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy.
