The Shining by Stephen King

dark tense
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

This is the first time I've read a Stephen King book I enjoyed! It's also a fun one to compare and contrast with the movie adaptation, since it's different Enough. I found the building tension extremely compelling, in each scene as well as the entire book, even though I knew the ending.
