King hits every note perfectly. In a lifetime of accomplishment, The Shining remains his masterpiece.

King at his best! Some scary parts. Some parts were expected, while others came out of the blue. This is one movie I can watch over and over.

Description: Ghostly bursts of plaster dust. A low, rhythmic sound in the background: Red rum-RED RUM-red rum-RED RUM. A sense of something evil swirling inward on itself, like a whirlpool of black ectoplasmic energy. The experience of being inside the actual consciousness ("come out and take your medicine!") of a frightened little boy. ... (more)

"I have read once Obviously I have seen the movie and loved it. One of my friends read it and apparently some WTF parts of the movie which are explained in the novel so of course I'm gonna read it. But I won't keep it in the freezer like Joey ;) (and if you know what that meant, ALRIGHT!) My thougts on the book The novel is really different from the movie. There were a few really scary moments, but not that much. But what is interesting is seeing the evolution of Jack, which we don't really unde"

"Stephen Kingin Hohto on hieno teos. Se kertoo itseään kolmannesta, kaikkitietävästä persoonasta, mutta epäluotettava kertoja-metodia käytetään jonkin verran. Hohto on elokuvaakin pelottavampi sekä käsittelee hahmoja psykologisemmalla tavalla, paljastaen Torrancen perheen sielut. Kaiken kaikkiaan Hohto on kauhukirjojen aatelia, ja alkuperäiskielelläänkin hyvä (tämä on englanniksi luettu)."
