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?

M.G. Mason Others have already compared the film to the book, but nobody has yet mentioned the 1997 TV miniseries. It is a far more faithful adaptation.
