I chose this book because I saw the movie, i heard a lot about how Stephen King felt the movie didn't feel like it was up to par compared to the book and I wanted to read it and find my opinion. This book is a two to three week book, it is around 600 pages, this book is a medium/ hard reading leveled book (leaning more towards hard). so far into the book I like it, it has a lot of suspense then nothing happens. you can tell that John (the main character) is quickly going insane. i like the style of writing and i have never before read a scary book and this is a good start for me. i wouldn't consider this book scary though, i would call it creepy or odd.
This book is based in the mountains of Colorado and during the winter the Overlook Hotel is vacant, so they need a grounds keeper to watch after the hotel and keep it in shape. The year before the grounds keeper went insane and murdered his family. This doesn't disturb John, him and his family decide to stay up there for the winter (they are getting paid a lot). a large snow comes keeping them indoors, John is starting to go insane.... Quick! Read this book if you want to find out what happens
