Cultural aspects.

All the events take place in the small typical American town - Frazier, New Hampshire.
The main characters often eat pizza and drink, for example, fanta and coca-cola.
But the family of Stones is half-Italian and it represents Italian culture a lot.
There are mentioned such holidays as Thanksgiving Day and Independence Day. But not only holidays are mentioned there. One chapter connects with 9/11, series of terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington.

Filming.

First of all, I hold the casting of actors. I am a famous holiwood director so the actors are. Dan is Keanu Reeves. 
Abra is Elle Fanning.

 Billy is Jack Nicholson.

    Dave and Lucy Stone are Bradley Cooper and Giovanna Antonelli Prado. 











Rose the Hat is Sandra Bullock.
I'd like to have in my film as many scenes as possible because almost all of them are important. All these actors play in final scenes. I want to shoot it in that place where "The Shining" was shot because it's the same place. 
I want there wouldn't be differences between the book and the film. It's my main motto. I'd just delete some dialogs and then shoot everything like in the book.

My opinion.

What I did not like about the story                    
                               
I didn't like the begining of "Doctor Sleep" because it was unclear about new characters, who they were and where they were from so I didn't want to read further. 
I didn't like some long thoughts 
because while I was reading them I became to think about other things.

What I liked about the story
I liked that the author refered a lot to "Shining". 
I liked that everything went to Dan's past, that Overlook hotel.
I liked unexpected things which I can never make up myself.
For example, Dan absorbed Abra's grandmother's soul so he got cancer too
and he killed everybody using this soul.
I liked that Dan didn't drink anymore and they all became good friends and happy family.
I liked that nobody good didn't die and the story had good ending.
