I read "The Shining" before the first movie came out. The book is pretty
creepy and scary to read late at night when you live alone....ie...turn on
ALL lights in your house while reading. eheheh

It's always nice to read the book before you see the movie. Movies can't
possibly give all the details from the book in 2-3 hours. If you read first,
you can fill in the blanks as you watch the movie.

The Jack Nicholson movie, "The Shining," was a big disappointment to me.
I haven't watched the newer version.

I've read that and actually have several Dean Koontz books here in my
collection.

I heard a book critic on talk radio once...MANY years ago. He referred to
Dean Koontz as "Stephen King grown up." heheheh
