superstar-in-the-making has already capitalized on various teenage roles in films that include Kick-Ass, Carrie, and If I Stay. And, she should rightfully do everything in her power to make a name for herself – yet jumping on-board a young adult sci-fi saga was not the way to go, nor was it the ideal course for Shailene Woodley, who’s now trapped in the rapidly regressing Divergent Series.

The Shining is a novel published in 1977 by Stephen King, a well-known American author. He was renowned for using supernatural events in many of his stories making them a mixture of horror, gloom, and fantasy. King does a good job in all of his books to keep a relatively gloomy sensation while reading them. The Shining is no exception. This book had me more terrified than any other horror book or movie.
