hello peoples!  Today I'm continuing my rant on shining-esque things with Doctor Sleep!  Here it goes!

     So one of the first (quite depressing) points in Doctor Sleep is that Danny is... a drunk.  After all the horrible things brought to his family by his father's own drunkenness Danny's Shining was to great a curse and to little a blessing for him to resist the bottle.  Being severely drunk is the only thing Danny has found that calms down the Shining.

     Specifically the book starts at what you would call the "Bottom", the worst thing an alcoholic had ever done is called their bottom.  I'm not gonna go into detail about that because it is a pretty big plot point in the book (and because its rather explicit.)  Anyway some good things happen to Danny for a change and he ends up being sober for quite a long time and ends up with a job at the local hospice.

     He works theree for a while with a grey cat that always visits a patient the night they are going to die but he's a nice cat.  Danny helps people pass on with the shining, such as looking at their good memories to comfort them and if they can't talk or are comatose he can hear them in his mind so him and Azriel the cat work together and life is good until they came...

     I'm not gonna say anymore about the book but there is one major thing I'm gonna give you a small hint on... The Torrance family has some more family ties.  That's it! That's it! I've said to much already. bye peoples and pleeaase pick up DOCTOR SLEEEEP.
