TITLE: The Shining
AUTHOR: King, Stephen
GENRE: Fiction/Horror
DATES READ: 12/25/2012 - 1/1/2013
MY RATING: 4/5
HAPPY NEW YEAR! A new year... and with it, new books of course! But now to review the old.
First of all, this book is so much better than the movie! Not a foreign statement for the avid reader. But it's most often so true. The book explains every confusing part of the movie in detail, and makes everything much much creepier.
Throughout the book, you realize exactly how crazy Jack really is, and it's made much worse by the punctuation of sanity. Stephen King is undoubtedly a mastermind when it comes to horror. This book gave me nightmares the entire time, and I had already seen the movie!
I feel like I want to watch the movie all over again, now that I know the horrifying truth about the Overlook Hotel.
