3.0

The plot of the book is 5/5. It had such great potential to be a horrifying psychological thriller. 

Unfortunately, the writing was too…. Obvious? Cheesy? The writing just didn’t land for me - it made it seem like a low budget scary movie.

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! I have been reading the shining for about 6 months and am only half way through it so decided to pick up something fast paced to get me out of my slump. It took me 4 hours to read this book and I did not put it down once. You think you know what is going to happen be trust me, you are 100% wrong. Oh what I would do yo read it all over again for the first time.
