Danny has aged. He went through a fairly severe alcoholism phase.
He now works in a nursing home where he accompanied the residents in their last trip (hence the book's title). His "gift" is rather dormant.
Until he "captures" the thoughts of the young Abra.
Like him, Abra has the gift but to the power 10.
For many years, their exchanges are spaced. Abra becomes a teenager.
It also picks up things. She becomes aware of "Real".
Beings who feed on the "steam" released in agony by people like her or Danny.
The book tells the story that then engages between the camp of "good" and that of "evil."
No need to have read "The Shining" to enjoy this sequel.
King's style is always nice. The translation also.
There are some great suspense about 580 pages of the book.
Nevertheless, the end is disappointing, rather sloppy for my taste.
This is still about 85% successful.
That may be the problem with Stephen King.Il has so set the bar high in the past that has become more demanding.
The book is still advisable despite his appearance and simplistic Manichean epilogue.
