I have read and re-read The Shining so many times, it is by far my favorite King story, so I was hesitant to read this but also dying to read it too. Needless to say King did not disappoint in the least. More of a thriller twist on the abilities of Danny then the true horror of the first book, it is still a fascinating read to see where he ended up. How his life progressed after the terrifying events at the Overlook, and the residual effects of his father on his adult life. King was not re-writing the original, merely writing a progression - so no, not the 'hid the book under your mattress' level of terror of the first one but a thrilling and entertaining look at the after effects of that terror. Definitely worth the read, but do so with a grain of salt....
