A review by tiasy97
The Shining by Stephen King

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

5.0

This is one of the best books I’ve read in FOREVER, it kept me on the edge of my seat, some chapters / scenes literally left me mouth agape. Watching the movie definitely helped me understand the beginning of the book as I was cautious going into it at first (and struggled to understand what was going on) but once it got into the swing of things I couldn’t put it down!! The ending is *chefs kiss* I WISH they’d used that ending in the film!! Stephen King neverrrr disappoints!
