A review by magicalshelves
The Shining by Stephen King

4.0

“Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win.”

Much better than the movie but I didn’t find it scary. I like that the hotel was its own character and the danger felt much more real in the book than in the movie. I would have liked to have seen more of the ghosts throughout the novel but I think King did a great job showing Jack’s descent into madness.
