hi all,
i just finished reading the shining and it was my first indulgence into the world of king. it's made a huge impact on me and i know consider him a bit of a genius i have also picked up 'lisey's story' but this is only due to the fact its about £4 in most places.
the next book i intend to read (apart from lisey...) is misery.
but back to the shining: i love the book but i do find the ending a little bit of a let down and a tad sentimental... this gave the book a very HPL feel to it as i feel lovecraft couldnt finish a story properly in most cases.
i also watched the shining movie recently and was thoroughly dissapointed with it. but i preferred its ending! (guess im just hard to please!)
what did other people make of the endings of both the book and the movie?
any suggestions on further king reading?
