mariacobos_ 's review for:
The Shinning
by Stephen King
This is a 3.5 stars.
I think the story is too long and it drags you through the set up of everything for like 500 pages but picks up in the last 100 pages, but its the fact that its the last 100 of 680 pages. My brain cells were absolutely fried by the end of the reading. I do love that with Stephen King's writing I never lack detail or scenery, he always executes painting out the scene for me. I enjoyed the way he wrote for this book, because as he wrote a scene in the perspective of one character, he would mention what is happening with other characters or what they are doing at the same time the scene we are currently reading play out. It was also so fun to see the transition of perspective for Danny, imagine Stephen king trying to write like a 5 year-old. Only he could pull it off.
