Doctor Sleep (The Shining sequel)

Okay, so I'm about 15% of the way into it so far, and like most Stephen King books it's just starting to get into the meat of the story, but so far they've re-introduced Danny (Dan) Torrance and have painted a picture of the struggles he's having with alcohol and depression..... The same struggles his father Jack Torrance felt leading up to becoming the caretaker for 'The Overlook'.
My first gripe is this: The spend the first chapter or two with Danny as an 8 year old then abruptly age him up to an unhappy adult. I'd have liked to see more of Danny as a child learning more about his powers.
I'd say that's my only real complaint at the moment being so little of the way into the book, and I'm certainly trying to keep in mind King books have a habit of starting off super slow then going from 0-100 in the last act. Beyond that it's a real page turner.
