3.5 stars to The Shining.

I expected to enjoy The Shining a lot more than I did, I didn't dislike it by any means but I'm not sure how much of it I really enjoyed either! The characters are interesting and well fleshed out (as King always does) and the slow build horror is creepy but I think that's the problem, it was too much of a slow burner for me!
