The Shining

Summary: THE BEST STEPHEN KING BOOK THAT I HAVE READ, BABY!
Review: This book definitely relates to the human mind. Three people, Jack, Wendy, and their son Danny Torrance are stationed at the Overlook Hotel, where Jack is care-taker. Danny realizes that he has a power to see into the future, which is called the shining. Then, the Overlook's ghosts start running the hotel again, using Jack as their tool of terror so that they can get to Danny, and they keep getting stronger, and stronger, and stronger. You will like this book, even if you have never read a Stephen King book in your life

Summary: Sort of an ancestor to "IT"
Review: This was a very chilling book, and seemed, in a way, a sort of an ancestor to King's book "IT" (he even uses the term 'It' in the end), only "The Shining" is better (a lot better, actually). One thing I can't understand is why Stanley Kubrick's film is considered such a poor adaptation of the book (not least by King himself). True it wasn't great (Shelley Duvall was all wrong for one thing), but it did have its moments. I guess the problem was that its not hard to imagine Jack Nicholson going off the deep end while the point of the book was to show how a alcoholic man with a temper, otherwise normal, could have his worst traits used against him and his family

Summary: REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM
Review: He is the terrifing author ever. And this is the most horrifing. From the ghosts to the mental husband to Danny's haunting visions. This is not wise to read this book in the dark.

Rating:
Summary: As suspenseful as it gets; unbearable tension
Review: I have read a few books by Mr. King. I got into him after _The Shining_ was released, however, and read mostly the newer stuff. But if you only read one book by SK, make it this one. A book that demands to be read from the opening chapter, _The Shining_ will have you checking behind doors and shower curtains. No wonder this story has been made into a movie and a mini series

Summary: I double dare you to read this page turner!REDRUM REDRUM RED
Review: You are placed in a closed hotel for the winter with a family of three-mom, dad, and son. You live with them for as long as they do. You start to hear things like they do. You start to see things like they do. Stephen King can get into the human mind and twist it around so good that you will have trouble to stay at a hotel for a long time. The last 150 pages are non-stop, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat, horror/adventure/action. I double dare you to read it alone in a huge house without electricity or communication with the outside world. REDRUM

Summary: Stephen King does it again,DOC!
Review: The Shining is Stephen King's very own pet monster. If Stephen King writes a cinch scarier, I think I'll move to Tanjunkarang,where there aren't too many closets, dark corners or graveyards. If you're going to read THE SHINING alone, good luck!
