Welcome to Litsy!

There is a surreal weight loss phenomena occurring with main character Scott, but this is really a story about accepting and caring for the people around you. Surprising and heartwarming — but if you‘re looking for scary, this isn‘t it.

“That was an odd thought. He supposed it must have come from his own head — where else could a thought come from? — but it somehow did not seem like his own thought at all.”

An amazing end to an incredible trilogy. Gwendy is one of my favorite King protagonists, and it's somewhat painful seeing her struggle with the ravages of time in this final installment. On the other hand, it's incredibly satisfying to see her overcome these and other obstacles in her efforts to bring a conclusive end to the albatross that has circled endlessly over her entire life. 5/5

I read most of this on a 2 hour plane ride. Very good mystery. I read this for a buddy read on Instagram and am looking forward to hearing everyone‘s theories.
Don‘t feel like I can say much more without giving away too much but I was entertained.

Uno dei miei libri preferiti, che ho amato ugualmente (se non di più) ad ogni rilettura.

One of my favorite books, I still loved it equally (if not even more) each time I reread it.

"That truth is that monsters are real, and ghosts are real, too. They live inside us, and sometimes they win. That our better angels sometimes - often! - win instead, in spite of all odds, is another truth of The Shining."

I‘m with Stephen King on this one. The book is way better than the movie. In the book, Jack Torrence‘s journey into madness is eventual. He‘s a recovering alcoholic who is trying to better himself for his wife and son. The Overlook Hotel, where he is the caretaker for the winter months, has a different plan for him…and it‘s not good. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Years ago, the haunted Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance‘s sanity, as his paranormal gift, “the shining, opened a door straight into hell. Now Dan is all grown up, but the ghosts of the Overlook kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life. He eventually meets 12 year old Abra Stone, whose shine is even more powerful. They find their lives in sudden jeopardy from a murderous group called the True Knot.

Getting ready for my first trip to Maine…
