As a fan of The Shining, this scratched a lot of the same pitches, but plot-wise that was not evident until the last quarter. Pretty slow-paced book. I’m glad I read it but it wasn’t a page turner for me until about page 400! Some of the violence is pretty disturbing.
Graphic: Rape, Child death, Child abuse, Racism, and Death of parent
