antonishapolitepeoples's review against another edition
I got about 50% through the book and that was a struggle. I don't have a problem with the book so much as a problem with the character of Jack Torrance. I have NEVER had a fictional character in a book, movie, or tv show upset me as much as him. I do want to possibly finish this book but I struggled with wanting to pick it up to get this far and it almost put me in a major reading slump because I was obsessing over this book and didn't want to read anything else, but I also did not want to read this either.
