Fiction Adaptation Unit- Reading the Shining Book

I have recently received my copy of Stephen King's "The Shining" through the post. I will be reading this throughout the course of my investigations so that I can get an idea about what the film and television series were adapted from. Here is a photograph of the book:

The book in its delivery box.

The book is over 500 pages long so it will probably take me quite a while to read. I believe I will be able to efficiently read it and take all the information in though as long as I make use of my spare time, and time I spend on the bus travelling to and from uni etc.

It also helps that I am an avid reader anyway and so reading this story and taking in all the details shouldn't be too hard for me.
