Believe it or not, this book came
out 37 years ago! I probably read it
about twenty years ago so I decided to read it again before reading the sequel
Doctor Sleep.
I’m sure everyone knows the
story. A man, Jack, his wife, Wendy, and
young son, Danny, become the winter caretakers for a sweeping hotel in the mountains
of Colorado appropriately called The Overlook.
Bad things happen.
If you have only ever seen the movie
you should really read the book. There
is so much here that never made it to the screen. Shining, the ability that Danny possesses is really
glossed over in the movie and here you get to understand what Danny can
do. The Overlook is even scarier in
print. And you would never be able to
turn your back on a hedge animal ever again!
A perfect creepy haunted house (hotel!)
read!
