The Shining - Book Review

The Shining by Stephen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"The Shining" is Creepy and Unsettling, it gets in your head and under your skin. With well realized characters and great writing. The scariest part is that Stephen King almost makes it believable. The Thrills and the Suspense that it provides is hard to match.

It is more than just a Horror story, it is a story about Family struggles and the horrific effects of alcoholism on Family and Marriage.

No gimmicks, nothing in "The Shining" is done without purpose or for mere shock value, it simply is a great book which tells a compelling story with well realized characters, each having their unique voice and feel to them. Simply put, "The Shining" is a Masterpiece in Horror / Suspense / Thriller Lit.
