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.

Rating:  - Absolutely enjoyable!
I just happen to finish this book today, which I just found out is Mr. King's birthday (Sept. 21st).

The way King describes the hotel, ... Read More
Rating: - Classic King!
Very good read ... Great story of supernatural terror and suspense. Enjoyable characters, too! This is classic King! Highly recommended.
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.
My main encounters ... Read More
