	Picking the Bones: The Shining
		The book is part of a series of reprints that appeared around the time of Rob Reiner's Misery adaptation, with the phrase 'words are his power' under the author's name.
		The book is not a movie edition and does not otherwise mention Kubrick's version, but the identification is obviously very strong (I'm going to be controversial here and say the movie's actually pretty good, though obviously much more Kubrick's vision than King's).
		The Shining was published in the same year as Rage and two years after 'salem's Lot, making 1976 the only year from '74 to the present in which a brand new Stephen King book did not appear.

	The Shining Knight - A 1940's Comic Book Hero
		The Shining Knight and his horse Winged Victory fill in for a milk-man whose delivery horse is sick.
		Comic book heroes typically were 100% good guys, who lived in cities, and helped out people in cities who were in trouble.
		Another interesting moment: when the Shining Knight accidentally re-encounters his missing sword late in the tale, his arm experiences a tingling sensation, alerting him to fact that this is his missing, beloved sword Excalibur.

	The Shining Ones and their advanced technology and their influences over the last 8,000 years.
		This book includes all the material contained within The Genius of the Few, but adds a great deal more information on the unfolding diaspora of the Shining Ones from the Southern Lebanon site around the world, their advanced technology and their influence over the next 8,000 years.
		The Shining Ones as real people are clearly identified within all cultures and not confused with the cast of characters who appear in astronomy, cometary catastrophe and within the spiritual regions.
		The Shining Ones presents for the first time key parts of the latest translation of the Askew Codex in the British Museum, which comprises a collection of 365 quarto sheets of vellum, on which the writing is in Greek uncials, in the now extinct Coptic dialect of Upper Egypt.

	'The Shining' A Rough Guide
		First there was the book written by Stephen King in 1976, then Stanley Kubrick made a film of the book in 1980 and finaly Stephen King made a TV mini series in 1990.

		The heart of the book is not an evil hotel but a pair of father-son relationships: Jack and his father, Jack and his son.
		The son (Danny) 'shines', which is a bit ambiguous, and basically allows him to communicate with other 'shiners', and also to have premonitions of the future, relayed by an imaginary friend.
		The book is even better than the film, it had sections which went more in depth into the psychosis and scenes which were completely edited from the film.

	Hollywood Gothique: The Shining (1980) Review
		THE SHINING shows the strengths that have made Stephen King a best-selling author of horror fiction: he knows how to create situations that are genuinely frightening, and he knows how to milk them for maximum impact; but more than that, he has a gift for characterization that is rare in the genre.
		The problem that these fans seem loath to consider is that the book's character was totally unconvincing for one simple reason: she was clearly stronger than Jack; therefore, it was impossible to believe that she would still be with him after he broke their son's arm.
		In the book, Danny sees a vision of the decomposed body of a woman who committed suicide in a bathtub years ago, and winds up in a catatonic state with bruises on his neck; when his father goes to check, Jack gets a glimpse of something behind the shower curtain, then denies see it.

		Central to the Shining is the way the force of the evil in the Hotel is able to utilize Jack's weaknesses ultimately to turn him to its purposes--to destroy what he love the most.
		But this book now reminds me of how much Divine Grace is involved for anyone blessed with the ability to build healthy loving relationships with those around him/her, especially family members, one day at a time.
		Danny has "the shine," a gift which allows him to see and know things he cannot possibly know; it is a powerful gift which the Overlook (which really is an entity unto itself) jealously desires for itself.

		The book was just the greatest book I've ever read in my life...it kept me on my toes the whole time...
		Now the network mini-series...This was great...It was 99.9% the book on film...I enjoyed that fact thoroughly...Yet....the character (from Wings) who played Jack Torrance was only good before the insanity kicked in...I thought his insane roll was trying too hard to mimic Jack Nicholson's actions which ruined the movie for me...
		Books are always better than the movies, with the exception of Star Wars.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "The Shining"
		I have never read the book upon which the film is based, but without that as a comparison point, I am proud to say that this is one of the most terrifying films that I have ever seen.
		King says that this is really strange, because the start of the book is very slow, and doesn't have much to do with the rest of the story.
		I also like the fact that Stephen King's version of The Shining made it evident that it was ghosts and evil that were causing most of the mayhem.

		The Shining is a good movie, and it is scary, but it doesn't compare to the book, written by Stephen King.
		There was another version of the Shining a year or two ago, it was a TV mini-series.
		Although the acting in the movie version was better, the mini-series stayed true to the book, so it was, in my opinion, the better of the two.

	The Shining by Steven King
		This was one of his most highly conflicting books between characters, settings and a heavy impacted plot.
		Unlike the movie starring Nicholson, the book holds more onto the supernatural aspects of what happened in the past and what lies in the future for the main character, Jack.
		Her role in the book is to be the go-betweener and to create conflicts in the family's stronghold.

		With "The Shining" he succeeds on all levels and delivers a film that warrants it's placement in the House of Horrors' Vault.
		The film's plot is directly rooted in the framework of the novel, but Kubrick had to tailor it into a management sequence of shots that could be executed efficiently within the limitations of the day.
		The budget for "The Shining" was $18 million and for the miniseries it was $25 million.

	The Shining
		The Shining is one of King's most famous books, mainly due to the controversial film of it by Stanley Kubrick.
		There is not much focus on Wendy until near the end of the book, although we get a sense of her being a basically good person - honest, with a basic desire to keep her family together and happy.
		King referred to The Shining recently when talking about Rose Madder - he said that the ending of RM is to do with anger repeating itself, and that wherever Danny Torrance is now, he's probably beating up his kids.

		And that book was, like, three times as long as The Shining.
		The scenes in the book wherein we're supposed to sense love between the Torrances -- the better to mourn that love when it's challenged later -- are enacted far better here than they ever were under Kubrick, who had other things on his mind.
		It's believed that Kubrick (and by extension, I presume, the Kubrick estate) did not care for the idea of The Shining being done again, and that this may be why the miniseries took almost six years to emerge on American home video.

		Other than that, I found the book to be a re-hash of others' work, re-interpreted to point to his conclusions and the sycophantic ending sort of went against the whole theme of the book for me.
		I think the book might be useful if you want a general overview over ancient cultures and religious movements stretching into modern times, but I can't say it offers anything more than that and you could get more complete and better descriptions in other works.
		He calls them the "Shining Ones" for no other reasons than that he can see paralells of "light" or "white" all over the world- be it Druids suppossedly dressed in white, be it the worship of light in the sky (stars, sun, moon), or be it by name.

		Danny's "shinings" are coming to him with greater terrifying frequency, as the presence of the hotel ghosts becomes evermore active with both father and son.
		In The Shining, he choose not to follow all the supernatural machinery from the book, but instead on its effect on human beings.
		The Shining utilizes the power of silence a great deal to create the malefic atmosphere of the hotel, the score is perfect in adding to the overwhelming feeling of malevolent isolation and impending doom.

	Salon \| "The Shining"
		With a budget for the new miniseries -- officially titled "Stephen King's 'The Shining'" -- clocking in at $23 million, what unspools across the tube is a vanity project of no small proportions.
		And while the Kubrick film was made on a sound stage, director Mick Garris (King is the executive producer) returned to the scene of the crime, as it were.
		The result is what you might call a literal interpretation of "The Shining," as dramatically attenuated and thin on emotional substance as most of King's books.

	The Shining by Stephen King
		I have always said one thing about The Shining: the book and the movie are both excellent, but they are not the same story.
		The one major difference between the book and the movie is the fact that in the book, the hotel itself is a main character and in the movie it is not.
		Stephen King has this way about him when he writes that allows the reader to look and see what is going on, from the color of the rugs to the cobwebs in the corners; he made an inanimate object animated for the purposes of the mind.

	The Shining: True Skies - PopMatters Music Review
		The Shining, they're called: a quintet from various parts of England, named for the Kubrick flick inspired by King.
		His snarl sometimes turns into a squawk, and his voice is often too thin and nasal to deliver the pomp-worthy lines with convincing bravado.
		Second, the attempt to revitalize the "supernatural element" of music has a tendency to come off with the thin purposelessness of a practice session -- the sort when nobody has any new ideas and band mates just fiddle on their instruments as an excuse to not go home.

		In King's book, the Overlook Hotel is a haunted place that takes possession of its off-season caretaker and provokes him to murderous rage against his wife and young son.
		In the book, it was a gradual incorporation of the hotel's evil spirit; perhaps too slow, but in the movie it happens so fast that we don't get any time to actually sympathise with his plight.
		THE SHINING may not be perfect, but it is nevertheless a Horror classic, a Stanley Kubrick classic and a Jack Nicholson classic---and it leaves us with a final shot that is as haunting as it is thought-provoking.

		Although the film is quite different from the book, and Stephen King is said to dislike Kubrick’s adaptation of his novel, the film The Shining is one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen.
		The Shining is surely a movie you won’t ever forget and it doesn’t really get less scary when you watch it a second or third time.
