![]() King intended for the room to have an effect on people like the physical, emotional and visual effects of taking mescaline or LSD…not to mention the psychological effects. It imprints a loathed feeling of impending doom upon whoever dares to enter. The described entity of the room itself is still very much the same. He also doesn’t have any hallucinations about his father in the book version. There’s no ex-wife to call for help over web video chat and there’s no dead daughter to mourn. There’s nothing about him being a writer in a slump nor about signing autographs on tour to stay away from his family because…he doesn’t have a family in the book. There were some differences between the book and the movie, as you might expect.įirst of all, in the book, there is no back story on Mike Enslin. I mean, what’s the point of reading if you aren’t taken away to another place in your mind? However, the less detail given by the author allows the reader to use their imagination to fill in the gaps and that is always fun. Although, even though it’s a short story, I expected more detail from King as he tends to get a little long-winded and microscopic at times. So, I wanted to see where it all started. (You can read the film review HERE.) Plus, King has listed this as one of his ten favorite movie adaptations of his stories. ![]() ![]() I thought I would read it since I watched the movie and did a review on it. ![]()
