I picked up this book because I noticed the absolute lack of Indian Literature in my reading list. As an Indian, I wanted to see what authors from my home could offer, and I was not disappointed. The story was emotionally gripping and the amount of themes it tackles is impressive. I really felt for the characters and their plight. The ending in particular was heartbreaking.
Highly recommend to anyone interested in reading modern Indian literature.
An absolute scare, filled with characters that you grow to both love and fear. This book and Kubrick's adaptation of it are probably some of my favourite pieces of media. Vastly different takes on the same story, yet still profound in their own, special ways.
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.
