Unlike Doctor Sleep, The Shining is must read

Stephen King's the Shining was the source material for two film adaptations. One made by Stanley Kubrick with no input by King and one made for television which King enjoyed.

The television adaptation has very comical CG used in it, whereas the Stanley Kubrick film has very well made subtle film tricks made, redefining horror, not to mention film. Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick did not get along. They both thought ill of each other and I, not a fan of the film, have appreciated it from all the interesting analyses online.

Is Stephen King's book terrible?

It is a bit more simple than Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, but is a great addition for those who wondered what was the original creation for the film as well as what Kubrick did to adapt it to film.

In the some time future, I will analyze what were the differences between the book and film.
