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.

Truly amazing

I had my doubts about the narrator at first, but he grew on me as things became more climatic. A wonderful book. Much better than the movie.

Glad To Have Some Closure
Reviewed: 11-06-19
Alright. I've come back to edit my review, now that I've finished the book.
To be honest, I did not like the narrator. She did loosen up a little bit halfway through the book, but all in all, the emotion just wasn't there. She sounded robotic a lot of the time and I had a hard time differentiating characters.
As for the book itself, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "Gone" series. And I even liked the first two of this last trilogy. However, I don't feel like enough was done with this. It was a little bit all over the place. But Michael Grant has a way with words and it was still worth the read.
I'm glad to have been able to finish this and get some closure. I'm going to back to listen to the first "Gone" book since it's been years. I'm excited to start the journey all over again.

One of the best books I’ve ever read
Reviewed: 10-16-19
This book was EVERYTHING. It was beautifully written, heartbreaking, heartwarming, intriguing, mysterious and just overall wonderful. I’ve never come across such a book that is equal parts fantasy and history. I loved the performances as well.... wish I hadn’t read it so I could read it all over again.
