A review by tatyanavogt
The Shining by Stephen King

5.0

I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed this book, I was expecting to be disappointed or for it to not live up to my expectations. I’ve enjoyed the shinning movie but I usually don’t like Steven King movies so I assumed I wouldn’t like the actual books.

Boy was I wrong, I loved the writing. I felt gripped by the slow plunge into madness, the unraveling of the characters. Interested in each of their internal thoughts, their fears and desires. I was interested to see what was going to happen.
