Actually everything he has written since about 1980 is a hot steaming pile of sh!t.
His first few books were “OK”, after 1980 he hasn’t written anything worth wasting your time with.
I actually did read The Shining. Must have been around the time it came out in paperback because there was no talk at the time of a movie being made of it. I did like the book, but did not feel compelled to read any more of his books. I really like the movie that was made of The Shining. I understand King hated it because of changes to the story from the novel.
