After reading The Shining about a year ago I finally got round to reading the sequel and I was blown away at how good it is, I didn’t expect much because I remember watching the film and I don’t remember a thing about it.
Saying that, the book will definitely stuck with me. I loved it.
I loved how King built a whole new story off of an already existing one and made it feel completely fresh, I loved how he kept me intrigued throughout and even threw in some intense moments that even had me wide eyed and holding my breath.
It was also interesting to see how much King evolved as a writer throughout the 36 year gap between the books, I obviously should read some more of his work between the timeline before making that comparison though lol.
Anyway thanks to all who recommended it to me, now I have to show my mum it as she’s a huge Stephen King fan.
Onto some Shirley Jackson next I think.
