The Shining

Classic for a reason. Fast paced, and genius.

Wasn't a huge fan of Stephen's writing at first (as with every new author you read), but as the book progressed, plot became way too intense, with cliffhangers on every chapter ends.

Could not keep the book down for the last few chapters.
Since there's a movie based on this book of the same name, it helped in visualizing the hotel, its halls, Danny, Jack and Wendy.

I don't recommend reading this book at night, unless you like nightmares, of course.
