Hey guys! It's me once again posting about my book. Well I have switched from Teen Idol to The Shining by Stephen King. Heard of the famous movie? No?? Well let me tell you about it. Jack Torrance is a school teacher with a wife; Wendy and a son; Danny that has been offered a job to be the caretaker of the Overlook hotel. Before he takes the job, he's faced with a terrible horror story from the old caretakers of the hotel. The last caretaker slaughtered his family and shot himself afterward. Now I know if I was Jack I would be a little suspicious, wouldn't you? But I don't blame the poor man after hearing about Delbert Grady (old caretaker). I would definently be a little freaked out. Grady was isolated from the outside world in the bitter cold of Northern Colorado for 5 months straight! I think that would drive anyone insane, right? After Jack was told about the Overlook murder, he decided to take the job anyway considering Grady was a drunk and he wasn't.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes thrillers. Even though I've seen the 1980's movie the book definitely tops the movie. Read it! You'll love it! And even though I don't read that much, this book is 500 something pages and it's got me hooked. If you read it, comment if you like it or not.. Because if you don't.. You're not normal. This book will make you wince at your own thoughts and shiver with chills. Read the book then watch the movie. It might seem a little cheesy but its the 80's whatya expect? WATCH.IT.
The Shining (1980)
Wow I'd say you have to be really into the horror genre to read The Shining. I have seen small bits of the movie but not the whole think because I know I will get freaked out. However I do know the basic story line and I have to say it's a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe movie is great! You should watch the whole thing. The book is even better.
