THE SHINING (REISSUE)

The cover is definitely different from what is displayed but the book was a horrific masterpiece. Shout out to stephen king

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 💗

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 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

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.

Nice i got the real cover book

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.

Excellent book, I recommend it even more than the movie itself, which I love!

* This review is of the edition, not the story of the novel It is a relatively nice paperback, I really like the cover and the pages are really white. The book is weirdly narrow for its height, it's almost as if it had been chopped to small by in production but the text looks fine inside. It does however make it slightly uncomfortable to read, especially since the font size is rather small. The pages are a really nice, bright white and the font easy to read. The spine is somewhat durable, it not break or crease when I read it.

I HIGHY RECOMMEND YOU THIS BOOK. I ALSO PERFER IT THAN THE MOVIE OF IT. BUT I CANT DEFINE WHICH IS BETTER. I THINK IT IS UP TO YOU THAT DECIDE WHICH IS BETTER AFTER YOU READ IT

Leggere i lavori del maestro nella lingua in cui sono stati pensati e messi nero su bianco è tutta un'altra cosa. È l'autentico King. Ogni opera è un capolavoro, uno specchio dell'animo umano, una storia di crescita. Penso che It continui a essere il mio preferito in assoluto, ma sono estremamente grata di aver aggiunto questa perla alla collana di lavori del maestro che ho letto in lingua originale.

Es un libro magnífico, quizá exige un nivel de inglés alto para poder comprenderlo bien.Es mil veces mejor que la película,sin ninguna duda. Ahonda muchísimo en la historia de los personajes principales, se podría decir que la película es un vago resumen del libro, con un final completamente distinto además. Vas viendo como Jack se vuelve completamente loco, y además le entiendes a la vez que le odias. Entiendes por qué han llegado al hotel, todo lo que va pasando allí, etc. No he leído nada más de Stephen King,pero es sin duda de los libros que más he disfrutado!
