Is there anything Jack Torrance won't do for his job? This man needs to try quiet quitting, not malicious compliance. I have mixed feelings about Wendy, but I believe there is a solid attempt made to redeem her. Also, yeah. The racism is awful in this one and the pacing is ungodly.kaykad's review against another edition

It's not.
Wanted to read a classic King beofre diving into his new book and this did not disappoint! Totally understand the friends episode where Joey puts his copy of the shining in the freezer.
