The Shining is a novelisation written by famous comedy writer Stephen King of the critically-acclaimed Stanley Tucci film of the same name. It is King's 123 x10^32 piece of work, and revolves around a mentally handicapped child who thinks he can see things, a goody-goody father who never has taken a drink, ironically married an alcoholic wife who beats him and his son.

The novel was a runaway success and spawned a television adaptation in the Nineties that largely ignored the earlier film version.

[edit] Characters

• Danny: the son of his parents, he invents imaginary friends. Many regard him as a pervert, as he imagines dwelling in other peoples thoughts, and imagines ladies lusting over other men.
• Jack: The father of his son, Jack never has and never will touch a drink, because he is deadly afraid of not being able to get it up
• Wendy: the mother of his son, all she wants is to have a nice martian. She hates her life, and ultimately we find that she is suicidal.
• Dick: A negro who is almost as delusional as Danny, he makes up words to go with his delusions.

[edit] Plot

Warning: The following text might contain spoilers. This makes the article more aerodynamic, and thus more maneuverable at high speeds. Take caution and carry a first-aid kit at all times if you don't know that Metal Sonic was posing as Eggman the whole time, Number Six escapes from The Village, the alien scum was distracting Duke Nukem all along while their real invasion force was moving in on Earth, Nathaniel sacrifices himself so that demons won't destroy London, Kitty helps found the new government of commoners, and Bartimaeus survives, Oedipus fulfills the Oracle's prophesy by killing his dad and fucking his mom, Bucky Bucks was actually the Jew Producer and there was no prize, Janeway defeats the Borg, Jason is really Superman's son, the Lord of the Flies is inside us all, Luke gets shot trying to escape, Curly Brace gives you her air tank after the core room floods, M. Bison was the killer of Chun Li's father, and Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!

The Shining focuses mainly on Danny and his imagination. The family goes to a desert in the sweltering heat, in order to get a job for the summer season. Danny imagines ghosts, but the family correctly tells him that there is none. The plot is linear and there are no twists. The plot goes quite uneventfully, until the end where the family finds that they were actually living in a volcano, which explodes and kills the whole family, minus the father, and Dick, who was there delivering a pizza. An interview with Stephen King found that he didn't know what he was writing, since he was on day 52 of a crack, shroom, and acid binge, and when he became sober, he decided to make the volcano, since the other parts were quite boring. He also mentioned that he needed to have a black person in order to counter the claims that he is racist, though sources confirm that he is also in the KKK. This was the last time King hired a black person on set, as on the last day of filming the black man went on a sniping spree from the top of King's minivan. KING NO DIRECT SHINING. IT WAS KUBRICK!

[edit] Differences between the Book and the Film

Although a mostly faithful adaption, the novel is based on a much earlier draft of the script than that which was finally filmed. As a result, fans of the film may be disappointed to find that the novel features almost no references to the "Wendigo", is not placed in the Sierra Nevadas, and steps-around the film's major plot twist by having Ives admit his identity from the very start. It should also be noted that the soundtrack to the novel is widely considered inferior due to its over-reliance on stock music and an unfortunate rehash of the score to Zombi 2 performed by the last surviving member of Goblin. The novel also lacks the movie's repeated allusions to Al Gore's baby robot farm.
