Lush Library discussion

I'm intrigued, I am really trying to stop myself from buying it but, I am a huge Stephen King fan & I just neeed it! I know there are a few other fans in here too. So, anyone?

I have! I pre-ordered it quite a while back, because I knew I wouldn't be able to resist. The Shining was one of the first King books I read, and I can still remember it really clearly. It'll be interesting to see how Danny turned out :)

I read some excerpts looks as scary as the original! I'm excited but I forgot the ending from the first book & worried if it's relevant :s

I think it was just Danny escaping from the hotel? I can't really remember, either...I might have to have a quick peek at the last couple of pages before I start Doctor Sleep!

I can't find my copy & don't have time to ordet a new one now. Will you give me an overview of the ending if you do? Does Dad die or disappear? What happens to the hotel? Think I am going to pre-order. This place is no good for my bank balance *sigh* hahaha!

I've got it on my wishlist, but as I've not read The Shining, I'm a bit worried that I won't know what the hell is going on....

Here you go, Sam:

(view spoiler)[Hallorann receives a psychic call from Danny, and rushes back to the hotel.

As he arrives, Jack is pursuing Danny through the hotel. He briefly gains enough control to tell Danny to run, and in return Danny tells Jack that the unstable boiler in the basement is about to explode. Jack rushes off to try and stop it, and Danny, Wendy, and Hallorann flee. He's too late and the boiler explodes, destroying the hotel and assumedly killing Jack. The hotel makes a last attempt to possess Hallorann, but he manages to shake the influence off and guides Danny and Wendy to safety.

In the epilogue, Hallorann has taken a chef's job at a resort in Maine, and comforts Danny over the loss of his father. (hide spoiler)]

How are you finding Doctor Sleep, Sam? I like it, and I've read it pretty quickly, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting it to be. I half thought Azzie would have a bigger role...and maybe the Overlook. I didn't really find it all that scary in a horror kind of way, either. Still, I suppose that's sequels for you :) I'm glad I read it, either way.
