Stephen King comes back to the character and location of one of his most wellknown
works of
fiction ever, The Shining, in this instantaneously riveting story about the now middleaged
Dan
Torrance and the very unique twelveyearold
girl he must save from a tribe of murderous
paranormal s. As i have always said about every other King book is worth reading this King's
longawaited
36yearslater
sequel to 1977's THE SHINING this one of the ones you want to
read.
This novel didn't replicate the level of horror as The Shining. However, I was not very old when I
read the initial novel and the miraculous terror of The shining can't be entirely recaptured. This
book was as fantastic a sequel as could ever have been anticipated to follow up a story that
holds that significant of a position in our combined pasts.
Tend not to read this book if all that's necessary for you is to return to The Overlook Hotel and
insane Jack Torrence. Neither of them are revived except as a summary of Danny Torrence's
historical past. The Overlook Hotel burned up. That's how Jack Torrence, died when he failed
save the Overlook by not removing the defective boiler.. There are reflects from the past,
rehashes, but this isn't as much of a sequel as it is a new story starring old characters.
King quickly updates us on what transpired to little Danny and his mother Wendy, as well as the
old cook who shared the shine with Danny. That update was pretty damn scary in it's own. I
won't tell you, but some revisitations
were made.
In Danny's adult years the story becomes less insanely crazy/scary than the first book.
Nevertheless, King's storytelling and ability to scare are still incredibly strong. This is a different
tale entirely than The Shining, with only a little overlap. Don't expect to encounter that same level
of terror and you won't be let down.
There was also a very human side of this story. Death and dying, the fight for sobriety, King dealt
with a lot of his personal demons I believe. He is 65 years old now, a time when many individuals
reminisce.
Read it you will enjoy the story it is number 8 on Amazon best seller list
