Three books into my King chronological read, and another success!
This was dark and tense! The slow build-up to something ominous worked so well. I really felt transported to the Overlook Hotel.
I didn't give it the full 5, as I did get a little lost with some of the hotel happenings towards the end and sometimes it was tricky for me to suspend disbelief — but overall, a cracking, gripping story.
