Re: 'The Shining' book being much better than the movie.

The book is much better than the movie. The movie really didn't convey what the "The Shining" was.

And it was much the same with Christine. Not a bad movie, but the book was far, far better.

I agree. Book (author notwithstanding) is much better than the movie.

Thing is, I would love to be able to be the caretaker of a resort like that for the winter. Being surrounded by 10 feet of snow for several months wouldn't bother me at all. I would never go crazy like Jack Torrance did. Never! Not me.

Shining “the book” was far, far more intense than the movie.
