Review Of "The Shining," A Novel By Stephen King

Stephen King is one of the most talented writers of dark fiction in his time. His great eye for detail and the horrific contents of his novels keep his readers coming back for more. Here are some of the glowing comments his readers made:




If you like suspense, you will love this book. If you like to get a bit scared, you will love this book. If you like to get wrapped up in depth of characters and human emotions, then you will love this book. If you read to enjoy the written word expressed by someone that has mastered the language and enjoy a heck of a story why you're at it, then you will love this book. I highly recommend it.



One fantastic book. Simply brilliant. This must be Stephen King's masterpiece. The story grips you from the beginning and doesn't let go. It just keeps building momentum until you notice that you haven't taken a breath for several pages. A truly scary story about a hotel and its past and dead guests and a family trying to escape their lure to join them. I couldn't stop reading.




I read this book recently, and I thought it was fantastic. I read it faster than I've ever read a book before in my life. My friend doesn't read at all, and she loves the book. I recommended it to her, and she didn't put it down, nor did I. I thought it was great. Definitely one of King's best. You can really picture the characters, especially Jack. If you liked Jack Nicholson's performance in the movie, you will love Jack's character in the book. It goes into more detail about Jack's ways and I really loved the character. GREAT!!
