The Shining by Stephen King My rating: 5 of 5 stars Bought this book because it's the first one that comes up when you search horror books, and no doubt Stephen King is the king of horror books. Also, picked up because Joey praises it in FRIENDS sitcom. The book begins slow and sets the scene for the plot i.e., the hotel Overlook, cut-off from the world. Although I found it bit too stretchy and descriptive in the first half, the second half just kept me on my toes. Anything I write about the plot will be a spoiler. Watching the story unfold through both the kid Danny and the father Jack's eyes, it is so terrifying to imagine it happen. The visuals, hallucinations, and who are all these people when the hotel's supposed to be closed for the winter!!! A goodread, imo! Do read if you're reading horror for the first time like me ❤️ View all my reviews
