First and last King novel. Too imaginary and unreal horror.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Only Stephen King could make a 700 pg book interesting and page turning about a family of 3 isolated in a hotel on a mountain top. The Shining is the ultimate King story, with a unique foundation of those who can Shine and what Shining actually means and entails for the King universe moving forward. I just love this story, I loved the movie as well but the book had a MUCH better ending imo. What I didn’t like, were the hedge monsters, I actually thought that was kind of stupid and silly, even in the context of this story. But wow, what an epic dissection on isolation and psychosis, addiction, and more! I’ve read 3 Stephen King books so far, happy to say I’m a huge fan!

Moments of greatness.

I couldn't put it down, I see why its one of King's best

Best book I’ve read in a while. An all time classic.

I’ve been meaning to read this book for years but never got around to completing it. Finally, I’ve finished the book and I understand more about the Overlook and Danny that felt unanswered in the movie. While the first few parts of the book felt overly descriptive and long, it felt necessary when you get towards the end of the book and everything that makes the characters come full circle. I’ve seen the Doctor Sleep movie but now I plan on reading it. I’ve always been a Stephen King fan and analyzing his writing style is always a pleasure.

Slow burn, but worth it.

Well, the graphic images of the evil Overlook will certainly keep me up at night. But I find myself most saddened by the desperate attempts of a well-meaning father who’s trying to do right by his family. Humans trying to conquer their own demons is more haunting than anything supernatural.

A thriller in its own right! My sixth book of Stephen King and still wanting to read more!

Will give nightmares to all adults.It is one of the best, scariest, spine chilling nightmare!👍👍👍👍
