Stephen King - Doctor Sleep [This is the German version]

This is the sequel to ‘The Shining’ where the young boy, Danny, has come of age. He is now in his forties and still has his gift. But there’s someone stronger than him - Abra, a girl just 12 years old when the actual part of the story sets in and she is in danger. There a people that feed of people like her and Danny.

I read this book in about 5 days. It was just so catchy I couldn’t put it down, really. Since I read this in German (I really didn’t have another option, sorry!) I can’t really talk about the style of writing in this one, but the translation was very easy to read and very well done. I have to say I was quite disappointed with how supernatural it actually was because normally I’m not into things like that. I enjoyed it anyway. It’s quite nice to get actually all of the references - or at least 90% of them - because this is one of his more recent books. I loved that.
