**** 4 stars
Great read! It was awesome to revisit little Danny from The Shining all grown-up. His trajectory, not surprisingly, is not a smooth one. I always enjoy the human elements of King's books over the horror and as much as I love him, sometimes the books indulge too heavily in the horror direction. This one almost felt restrained in that regard. It felt like a quick read even though it was fairly hefty. Glad he is still writing; since I've been reading him since I was a teenager, he is the equivalent of a literary "best friend".
