The tone of this sequel dances nicely around The Shining, and would stand well on its own even if you hadn't read the first novel. King's usual grit, extensive self-talk, and boogieman under the bed style of horror is shifted a bit by seeing how the bad guy(girl) is going to catch their ultimate prey. It's a little like seeing into the mind of Randall Flagg in The Stand, except Rose the Hat knows exactly who she is and where she's headed. The ending is surprisingly satisfying!
