Dr Sleep by SteveK review

It's been a while since i last posted. 2nd week since the last announcement to on hold the NFV project. Kind of glad and still sets chills on my back on how we are navigating blindly without proper knowledge of delivering it. Anyway it's all good now, at least will survive a week at a time. I can't sleep on weekends even with a long 3rd day public holiday. That's when i picked up Dr Sleep.

Can't deny that I've loved the King's work all along. Never read the Shining, but this one is a page turner. Took me only 1 week of on and off reading to run through the novel of Dan T's adventure with Abra Stone and sidecasts like John Dalton,Billy Freeman, Halloran and of course them baddies True Knot. King's magic is always at how he managed to weave nightmares, those mentally and in shadows. Spooky type that keeps you awake like how Deenie & Tommy haunts Dan T. How the shining works against it's user. Apparently it's a sequel to the shining, so am looking forward to visit the time when Dan T is a kid.

read in reverse as 'murder'

Now i'm floating in between broken dreams and just survive mode - don't drown for now. It's decided, this is no longer a sanctuary. It's my version of  Overlook Hotel. Let's put down all the pieces on the warmap slowly and once all is in place;

FEAR = fuck everything and run!

Read book read book 2015

All from Big bad wolf 2015.

Quite good reads below, would rate World War Z as the better of below 3.
Max Brook puts the zombie apoc story-telling to a global scale. However, some suspense are already killed since we know each short chapter's character will survive. Regardless still a page turner.

Anne Rice's Angel Time is about an assasin turned angel's advocate. No idea on Jews and Catholic stuff, so its quite interesting.



 Angels and Demon , i think don't need anymore introduction. It's about professor Langdon's journey through Vatican City, plots revolving around a weapon of mass destruction and the mysterious Illuminati. Not bad, not bad.
