"Read this book anywhere … except, say, if you’re alone and snowbound in a vacant, isolated hotel. Yes, Stephen King brings us the sequel to The Shining — and it’s almost as gripping as the original. The book follows Danny, the terrified boy from the Overlook Hotel, into adulthood in New England. King says writing a sequel to such a blockbuster was risky — “being scared is like sex,” the author says, “there’s nothing like your first time” — but he simply couldn’t resist. And neither will you after you open these pages."
