I liked Shining, but no more than that. I always preferred the sagas at King, he knows generate a true epic in his long stories. His stories also are good, and still substantial characters of any length, but now, by choice, I prefer her long stories. In short, you say about this book and in what order ... I vaguely remember the story of Shining so, and even if it is blurred in my mind, it does me nothing embarrassed to read this story . So if you have not read The Shining (Ni seen Kubrick's film) that does not matter, there will be enough info for you to understand perfectly the frame. King has always the art of camping credible and endearing anti hero again it's a master stroke! You will love the alcoholic Dan Abra and the little girl. The others you love them or hate them ... but they are very present in your mind when you have closed the pavement. I think those who liked "here," "The Tommyknockers" Scourge will enjoy ... The wicked will remind you (very) far from the vampires, and this is also the genius of King shifting to know just a little, just so as to make things unfamiliar and therefore frightening trèèèèèès! I devoured it in two days regretting every page my irrepressible greed ... So read on ...
