Grading: The Shining

[Merlin1958]

This one gets straight A's people. One of King's best.

What he said!!!!!!!

I love them all, but this one's my favorite. I've probably read it a dozen times, and it thrills and delights me every time.

As odd as the Warren Beatty as Jack Torrance pic is, it's Danny I am still trying to figure out. I get the weird looking eyes as I suppose that's supposed be him using his shine, but what is the deal with what he's wearing? I find it confusing. I've never seen a shirt like that, not on a boy anyway.

I think I was just so disturbed by the eyes, that I never even paid attention to that, but I agree, it's very strange. I think the cover could have been good, but they just failed in the execution of it.


As for the book, I gave it straight A's again. Not my absolute favorite, but I didn't feel I could give it anything less.

All A's, as to the cover, what is that cow trying to do to the lion in the lower left corner. Hmmmmmm......

I finally read this a couple years ago and have already reread once. Its all a great story should be. I loved it.
