Thirty years after its publication, the glow remains a visceral and gripping novel which exposes the power of Stephen King s leg hypnotize and terrify readers.
After reading this novel, the movie, "The Shining" Stanley Kubrick had become a "thin film of fear" that ignores the essence and drama of the author, master of horror.
is said that the miniseries was much more faithful to the novel but not necessary be an expert to know that all television drama is limited.

With each passing day increases the influence on Jack, exploiting his weaknesses, exacerbating his paranoia and persecution. The hotel will become a murderer to the new instrument available. Danny sees what is happening but, being so small, not fully understood.
is a harrowing tale of survival against the odds, an incredible supernatural nature. King brings every nuance of the living history of life, capturing perfectly the internalization and externalization of fear among extremely real characters that the reader comes to know very well. As has always been the case with Stephen King, his power characterization is forcing the reader to engage emotionally with the characters. .
While "The Shining" is my favorite novel of Stephen King, I can say is excellently prepared and has some of the most heartbreaking scenes in the history of Stehpen King. It recommended a novel, a classic that you can not stop reading.
