The Shining

[HellKitten]

Okay, I just started reading it yesterday I'm on 235 so far. The Shining is a book by Stephen King, and one of his best. I was wondering if any one else here has read it. If you haven't I'll post the summary if you're intrested.......


The OverLook Hotel is more than just a home-away-from-home for the Torrance family. For Jack, Wendy, and their young son, Danny, it is a place where the past horrors come to life. And where those gifted with The Shining do battle with the darkest evils.

So I want to know if you're intrested or have read it. If you have how was it? Scary enough for me? xD it takes a lot to scare me. Well I've already been scared by this book. How? Well I had Danny's nightmare last night and I wondered how he'd be able to get out of bed in the morning. When my dad came in I was sitting against the wall with blood shot eyes xD

Oh **** yes.

I loved that book, it's one of King's best. One of the scariest, too.

They changed a lot in the movie, though. D:

Loved the movie, but I haven't read any Stephen King books yet. Maybe I'll be less lazy for this one.

Loved the book, one of my favourite of his, gives me chills, but I hated the film, bored me to tears.

Finish the book before you watch the film, or you'll end up ruining it for yourself.

I'm only about 5 pages in the book. =|
Watched the film, and I have a feeling that the book is going to be tons better.
