Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote . . . and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old. --back cover
I did enjoy the book but it felt like some chapters were a bit repetitive therefore unnecessary. Some of the language is not appropriate and it has been correctly pointed out throughout the years. Besides that, the story is good and original; and the ending is good.
El resplandor. Que bonita manera de llamarle "al don". El Resplandor es hereditario. Las malas costumbres también se heredan. S. King nos regala a Jack torrance, y nos lo regala con lo que mejor conoce, escribir, ser docente y ser alcohólico. El resplandor nos da un cabin fever excepcional, con un villano impensable, el hotel mismo.
Todos conocemos la versión cinematográfica de Kubric, pero El Resplandor de Kubric y El Resplandor de King son distintos, muy distintos. El de King es muy extenso, es muy añejo y es redentor. Te invito a que leas la última redención de un padre sufrido, porque también de eso le sabe el Sr King.
He writes about breasts way too often and in an unsettling way. Also uses some offensive language he shouldn't have. Spooky, but overrated.
