Of the books read so far in class I found the Shining to be the most interesting. This was the first Steven King book I have read. I have seen many of the movies made from his books, but the shining is the only book I have read. I want to read more of his books, to see how they differ from the movies, considering the Shining book was different from the movie, but not in so much a bad way. What I liked about the shining was the supernateral part of it, with Danny seeing images. This supernateral was in Beloved,which is one of the reasons I liked it so much, but it was not as much as I would have like to have seen, the Shingin kept more of the supernateral throughout the whole book. The Shining I felt was a great book overall with the supernatural element that it had.
