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.

The Family Corleone: Chapters 1 & 2

Chapter 1 sets up the tone of the book using a man devoted to his family not wanting to rat them out even at the cost of his own life, sort of like in the manners of the Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones trilogy, having an opening scene not necessarily about the main characters.
Chapter 2 introduces Sonny and Tom as well as who Tom is sleeping with, a fine woman with fine tastes. She also happens to be Luca DeGrasi's girl. They ponder what she is up to, as she made a whole big deal with Tom this chapter over whether he actually liked her or not.
Also, Mama Corleone don't want no gangsta kids, but seesa $50 bill in Sonny's pocket.
Ain't that a hook for a Godfather prequel?
