But the book is still one of my very favorite books, with a different message from the movie.

Which leads me to a theory. For those who said the movie was better than the book, which did you see/read first, the book or the movie? I'm thinking you can only like the movie best if you saw the movie first. Agree, disagree?

ive never watched the shining movie because i loved the shining book so much.


closest i came was watching a spoof of it on a simpsons halloween special.
