Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217, and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive? Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine….

Wow!

Now after finishing the book I get why it is so good.
It's why easier to understand the plot of the story and the point. My theory is that Tony who had the shining in the 20's was sacrificed in demon-god in the hotel to make it great but ended up only making the demon itself great.
Better than the movie.

A great listen
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story felt painfully slow at times, delivering exposition and backstory that’s not incredibly relevant. It takes a long time before you get some real spooks. And at around 16 hours of runtime, you’ll be sitting there for a while.
This is a deeply psychological and character driven novel. If you enjoy deep character exploration mixed with slow-burning horror, you’ll enjoy ‘The Shining. If you enjoy something more action-packed, this might not be the best choice.
