Title: Have I missed something?
Product review: Perhaps the concept of a haunted hotel simply doesn't work for me, but I can't find a single thing I like about this book. And I don't mean because it scared me--if only it had that would've been a point in its favour. But no single part of this book--the hotel's history, the wasps, Jack Torrance going crackers, REDRUM, the lady in the bathtub, the 'scary' hedge animals--none of it did anything for me. And the thing is King's other books are so scary--"It" is probably one of the most frightening novels ever conceived. I don't know why it's hailed as a classic--maybe it got ruined for me when that "Friends" episode told me how it ended.
