A Goodreads user asked this question about
Doctor Sleep (The Shining, #2):
I didn't read the "Shining," but in the movie, Dick Hallorann is attacked by Jack Torrance's wielding ax, and I presumed he died...Does he survive in the book?

While Kubriks film is wonderful, it is a very very loose adaption of the novel which, in my opinion, out-shines- the film by leaps and bounds.
