Editorial Review:
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 past horrors come to life. And where those gifted with the shining do battle with the darkest evils. Stephen King's classic thriller is one of the most powerfully imagined novels of our time.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Intense and frightening
Great Stephen King novel. It is different from the (excellent) Kubrick film-- more character development, alcoholism, and abuse. My only complaint is it is a little bit long.
Rating:  - Redrum and ha loo sin nations in the ultimate mountain resort
After reviewing a nice little Swiss thriller set in a Swiss mountain resort (Deal with the Devil), I thought I might visit the mother of all mountain resort horror stories, and pay a tribute to the king of popular literature. The man knows his craft. I have not read much by him, previously only Carrie, which is a small first novel, but a good basis for a strong movie, and Lisa's Story, at the time his latest publication, which I liked a lot, but which disappointed the fan club.

Rating: - The most evil book that is on the market
Six Chilling Nightmares The most evil book that is on the market is the shining. I have read this book several times and have bought and read most of Stephen King books. Insanity is lurking in everybody waiting to be released. I am delighted to have experienced a true feeling of hopelessness and was sad when the cook was axed. Hurry up and die, take a flight rent a snowcap, and be blind-sided by a lunatic. This book is about insanity and terror written to chill you to the bone. In the cold mountains of ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant haunted house story
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.
Rating: - most scary
This is the the only Stephen King that I really couldn't finish in one read. Even during the day this book was scary. I realize that the events are just too close to being real. Even when this book lay closed on my desk, I fought the urge to look over my shoulder. Need I say more? Without delving too much on the movie, this was a perfect fit for Kubrick and Nicholson.
