The Shining

Finally read this after it being recommended for ages as I enjoy Stephen King and the horror genre itself.
This is a good book and I did enjoy it, however if you are going in to it wanting to be scared, this isn't the book in my opinion. Not sure if the standards for scary were a lot weaker in the 80's, but I didn't even come close to being scared whilst reading it.
The pacing is also a little slow at some points and I felt like I needed to “get through” the first third or so.
