This is by far my favorite Stephen king book and my favorite book. I’m 13 and I enjoyed this book so much I read other Stephen king books and this is by far the best. The suspense, mystery, and horrifying scenes that you can picture in your mind is absolutely a masterpiece Stephen king is by far the greatest writer of all time. LOVED THIS BOOK.

Hi

My second Stephen King book down and I have to say so far this one takes the cake an absolutely amazing journey from start to finish. Highly recommended!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PAGE TURNER!!! COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN!!! THE FILM INDUSTRY REALLY DIDN’T DO THIS MASTERPIECE JUSTICE!!!

FANTASTIC!!! I loved reading it far better than movie and mini-series

I would highly suggest anyone who liked the movie to read the book. 10/10🙂

Favorite book so far by Stephen King! The book was so much better than the movie in my opinion but I do think the movie did very good at picking the characters based on their descriptions and personalities in the book.

Enjoyed this read and comparing it to the Stanley Kubrick adaptation. I understand that things had to be changed to appeal and make sense in a movie. This story has so much more depth to it than the movie does and has me thinking so much about the roles and relationships between a father and son.

Steven King is not an author, he is a story teller, and he hit it out of the park with this book!

Having revered The Shining as one of my favorite horror films, I finally decided to read the source material for such a good but different film. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that this book was hundreds of times better than the movie. New layers of depth added to all characters and plot points. Being able to point at the ballroom scene in the book and compare it to the movie was a treat. It has so much more meaning in the book, and going back and watching the movie, it adds more depth to those scenes. A read that everyone should enjoy!!
