About The Book:
Danny was only five years old but in the words of old Mr Halloran he was a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father became caretaker of the Overlook Hotel his visions grew frighteningly out of control.
As winter closed in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seemed to develop a life of its own. It was meant to be empty, but who was the lady in Room 217, and who were the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why did the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?
Somewhere, somehow there was an evil force in the hotel - and that too had begun to shine..

My Thoughts:
Loved this book! It was just as horrifying as I imagined it would be when i first picked it up. Off course I couldn't expect any less from Stephen King after Cujo and Carrie! A definite re-read, and am off to watch the movie starring Jack Nicholson now!
Oh, and I just read somewhere that the sequel came out last year, cant wait to read it. More about it here.
