Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy, and their young son Danny move into the Overlook Hotel, where Jack has been hired as the winter caretaker. Cut off from civilization for months, Jack hopes to battle alcoholism and uncontrolled rage while writing a play. Evil forces residing in the Overlook – which has a long and violent history – covet young Danny for his precognitive powers and exploit Jack’s weaknesses to try to claim the boy. (source)

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.
