The Shining Book

To be honest, i had never read a King book in my life before i read The Shining. i had no idea what to expect. a lot of people i know have seen the film based on this book and said it was good so i thought: why not read the book?

i have to admit the beginning didn't really grab me. i'm a person that gets easily distracted though so that may have been why but when stuff started to happen in the hotel, i couldn't put it down! i was glued to this book! King has got everything just right in this book. The horror is more of a subtle nature at first, leaving you to think the characters may have just imagined these abnormal events and then as the novel progresses so does the level of noticeable abnormality.

I was a person who didn't believe in the whole 'books are scary' kind of thing because it's been said i 'lack an imagination'! but after reading this, i feel different towards this view! i wouldn't go in a bathroom for the next month without turning the light on before i'd go in!!

So, yeah, i'd take a chance and buy this book if i was you. i'm not exactly known for being a fan of reading or whatever, but i loved this book!
