A review by kozmo199
The Shining by Stephen King

5.0

If you've only ever watched the movie, you need to read this book. Like with most Stephen King adaptations, the book is subtly different from the movie, but in some very important ways. For example, the majority of the story is told from the perspective of Danny, rather than Jack, and the supernatural elements of the Overlook are different than shown in the movie.

Overall a great book - suspenseful, well written and unsettling. Makes me want to read the recent re-visiting/sequel, Doctor Sleep!
