A review by mr_engineer
The Shining by Stephen King

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Still my favorite King novel. 

The Torrance family had problems but they were working on them... and then they went to stay at the Overlook Hotel.

The decent into madness is slow but inevitable.
