Dr sleep

Dr Sleep by Stephan King 


WARNING
the first paragraph is just a rant skip if you actually want to get to the real review



Dr Sleep was the long awaited sequel to the horror classic The Shining, and can I just say I am pissed at Stephan King. The Shining was published in 1977 and flew off the shelves and was big hit automatic classic, so naturally like a NORMAL author you would write a sequel or a spin off to please the fans and to make more money. WRONG apparently you are expected to wait THIRTY THREE YEARS AND WRITE SOME CRAPPY NOVELS IN BETWEEN. I mean don't get me wrong Stephan King has written some great novels in the last thirty years, but if you are a true King fan like I am you know that he has some great books, but he also has a lot of SAD, GOOD FOR NOTHING, HORRIBLY WRITTEN, PIECES OF CRAP. You see with King his stories either fantastic or awful. There will always be the good books: Misery, Carrie, Fire starter, and of course The Shining, and the there are the bad ones: The cell, Christine, the other stories I would refuse to finish as an act of protest. Mr King why do you wish to torture your fans with horrible writing when it is obvious that you are a much better writer than these stories portray? It saddens us horror fans I breaks our tiny and cruel hearts. Next time please refrain from writing stories that could be written by A MONKEY WITH HALF A BRAIN.

Dr Sleep is fabulous story and I think it might actually be better that The Shining although I would strongly recommend against reading it without reading The Shining first. Dr Sleep is about the main(ish) character from the first book ( although he is not exactly the main character because in The Shining because it is constantly switching perspectives) as a grown up dealing with his gift, his gift again part from the first book is that he can see ghosts and often predict when something is going to happen (bad or good)  this power is called the shining hence the name of the first book. But this time the ghosts from the overlook (haunted hotel from the first book) are back. But this time instead of a series of ghosts haunting him it is one group of… Demons?…Ghosts? haunting him specifically on called Rosie nicknamed the girl in the hat.
I would recommend this too people who don't mind things that are on the darker side, also the are some mature topics.

out of the easy

I loved this book. I don't have any complaints. It was edgy but sweet and had many unexpected twists. This book is about a girl named Josie who lives in the french quarter. Her mother works at brothel where Josie cleans. Suddenly a man is murdered in the quarter and her mother is the number one suspect. I wouldn't say this is a mystery book but it does have a fast pace which is nice. I would recommend this book to anybody that doesn't mind mature content.

Out of the easy

This week I read a book called out of the easy by Ruta Sepetys. It is about an eighteen year old girl named Josie, who lives in the french quarter. Her mother is a prostitute and Josie works at her mother's brothel as a cleaning women. I am not quite sure I can describe the plot for this book, I am not even sure if it has one, ( which keep in mind is not always a bad thing). But I have to say that this book is very well written and is easy to get sucked in to. I would recommend this book to anyone more so girls than boys, also if you are going to read this book keep in mind that it has mature themes.

summer book

This summer I read tick tock by James Patterson. It is a thriller about a cop named Michael Bennett, who looking for a copy cat killer. I really enjoyed this book, it had a lot of nice cliff hangers, twists and it kept you guessing. My one complaint was the character development. Many of the characters where unrealistic, cliche, and had a lot of potential to be better characters, an example of this is when a love triangle was thrown in but never put into action. My last complaint was the fact the that there where too  many focuses, below I have made a list of things that the author made you focus on:

1. The love triangle 

2. Catching the killer

3. The main characters children ( there are twelve kids all adopted and we have to to remember there names where they are from and there ages)

4. The kid and his family that is beating up the main characters children 

5. How evil the villain is ( there are page long conversations about him PAGE LONG )

Thats five focuses, I love the twist but this book needs to sort out its priorities.

2. The Summer of letting go

3. A mango shaped space
