Stephen King Novel the shining is a horror story. The quality of the book is amazing. The pages of the book is also good . I loved it So much 💗

The packaging was perfect and it is a masterpiece and is the best supernatural novel of all times and it can givr you chills and all of Stephen King novels are masterpieces

To begin with it took me three weeks to read this novel. I was scared to bits and I still am. NOT recommending this book for the weak hearts! The book begins with the introduction of the “Torrance family” that has Jack, Wendy and their five year-old son Danny. Jack is talented but not successful as a writer. His alcoholism and temper made him lose his job and has nearly destroyed an ability he had to earn a living. He gets his last chance, through the offices of an old friend, which is to work as a caretaker in the “Outlook Hotel”. During the winter months, the hotel gets covered in snow and is inaccessible, Jack and his family sign the four months contract of complete isolation. As an added warning by one of the employees, Jack was told that the previous caretaker Grady had gone crazy with cabin fever and killed his wife and two daughters and then himself. Knowing that he has no other options, Jack agrees to take the job in the hopes that when spring comes, his play will be completed and the family will be able to make a fresh start. A famous horror novel, “The Shining” has the ability to scare its readers. The book is not very violent, but there are many jump scares and disturbing accounts, many of which may be too frightening for the fresh readers. It deals with themes of demonic possession and maintains an unsettling atmosphere throughout. Lastly, I’m a big fan of horror movies and novels, but this is quite possibly the scariest I’ve ever read. This is not a gory, jump-scare heavy, fright fest, it’s a slow burn movie that doesn’t need those things to scare you. #A Great Masterpiece! No wonder Stephen King is a “PRO” in horror writing!

The book has reasonable large fonts with nice binding wherein the pages can be easily turned without damaging the spine. This reissue comes with an attractive price. The story is a Gothic horror wherein a family stays in an isolated hotel in the dead of winter. They are the sole residents and have the onerous responsibility of maintaining the hotel. The Shining has been made into a movie starring Jack Nicholson.

Nice i got the real cover book

Got the book in a 100% good condition ( good packaging and delivery) and it's not a pirate book . But I gave 4 stars because Cocoblue retail didn't send the any bookmark with this book . It's a book from a renounced writer so seller should provide bookmark it will enhance the customer experience . Just Buy it you won't regret.

Recieved the book in a condition not very good. There were many dents on the book. But not very bad . All the three stars just for the content of the book.

The book is a wonderful representation of human psyche. The ghosts do not scare you much as the real persons do. To read the transformation of a man grappling with alcoholism, fighting his inner demons to finally succumbing to the wiles of the preternatural hotel was scary as well as sad.
