The Overlook Hotel is more than just a home-away-from-home for the Torrance family. For Jack, Wendy, and their young son, Danny,it is a place where past horrors come to life. And where those gifted with the shining do battle with the darkest evils. Stephen King's classic thriller is one of the most powerfully imagined novels of our time. --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.
