Will someone please tell Stephen King that there is such a thing as too much detail? Seriously, this book doesn't need to be this long. I'm struggling to get through it but I'm determined to do it. It took into part three for it to really get good. How people call him their favorite author I will never know. They must have much more patience than I do.

I have never been a big fan of Stephen King's books (although I love the movies) and I have to say that The Shining isn't changing my opinion. I've always felt that he includes too much detail and half of it is unneeded. But I'm determined to get through it, as The Shining is my favorite of his movies.
