Comment: After seeing the movie an being a Stephen King fan, I can't believe I never read "The Shining". That's the main reason why I eventually picked it up. It took me a while to finish it, mostly because it was one of the most frightening books I've ever read. If you are a horror fan this is a essential read for you. King knows how to create a suspenseful atmosphere and I love his writing style. He is a magician with words, he can turn any topic into an interesting read. What I liked most about "The Shining" is that it's scary without using extreme gore. Some say it's a bit slow paced and I agree, but that didn't bother me. This story is so interesting that it will keep your attention at all times. "The Shining" was a satisfying read and it may inspire a few nightmares. Tip: don't read this book when you're home alone at night.
Rating: 5/ 5
