Stephen King - The Shinning




Stephen King- The Shinning.
By: Erik Karlson
There is a family there is a mother a father and a son. Jack is the father Wendy is the mother and Danny is the son. Jack gets a job as the winter caretaker at the Overlook hotel. They find out later that the old winter caretaker killed his wife, two daughters’ and himself, brutally. Their son Danny has the Shining. This allows people with the Shine to see into the future. Also people extremely gifted can see the dead. Danny, exploring the hotel comes across the two girls that were killed by their father in room 217. The girls haunt that room.
I liked how suspenseful the book was, it always kept you thinking and wondering what was going to happen next. I did not like how slow the book was at first, it took a while to get to the suspense, but one there I couldn’t put the book down.
If you like horror, suspense, and creepiness in a book, this book is for you! I think that this book should be for people who are at least of 16 years of age. I think this because the dialogue of this book is extremely hard and it is too graphic for the younger generation. I would give this book four and a half stars. This book is great for people that like to be scared.
