Just finished this extensive read. Watching the film one can't help but compare the film to the book and the 3 part series.
I really liked the concept behind this story, a hotel , the Overlook, has it's own life force; through all the demonic and horrific events that have taken place, it begins to pick at people to join the ghostly goings on and jin the party that never ends.
If you have only watched the film you must read this book, it offers the full story and the extent that each charcter experiences during their time at the hotel. Dick Hollarann is a key character and emphasies what is 'The Shining'.
Stanley Kubrick's version, is just that; a version of this story which moves away from the Stephen King tale, and, as always, puts his own eeire and bizarre stint on it.
