Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy, and their young son Danny move into the Overlook Hotel, where Jack has been hired as the winter caretaker. Cut off from civilization for months, Jack hopes to battle alcoholism and uncontrolled rage while writing a play. Evil forces residing in the Overlook – which has a long and violent history – covet young Danny for his precognitive powers and exploit Jack’s weaknesses to try to claim the boy. (source)

I did enjoy the book but it felt like some chapters were a bit repetitive therefore unnecessary. Some of the language is not appropriate and it has been correctly pointed out throughout the years. Besides that, the story is good and original; and the ending is good.
