Shine, shine, shine on.

Yes, oh, you shine, shine on.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King

One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Once I reviewed each of his works in the

chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel, it all goes round again, and here I am once

more, back at the beginning on a new phase of the journey to examine each of the endings of the

works of Stephen King to determine whether or not King deserves his reputation for having an

inability to successfully land his endings.

In the previous episodes, I announced that as we moved forward, the focus of the podcast would be to

examine the climax, the falling action, and the resolution of the endings of each of his novels,

and break it down by character themes, conflict, and plot to determine whether or not it meets the

criteria of being an objectively good ending.

I'm also going to weigh in whether or not I like the ending.

So before I get any farther, and today we're going to be talking about The Shining's

ending, so the previous two episodes was first with Carrie and then with Salem's Lot.

Today we get to talk about The Shining.

But first, I want

to read two listener emails on iTunes because, as I've always stated, I can't do this without

you guys. And the more reviews and ratings that I get, the more alive the Stephen King cast is.

So, oh for God's sakes, writes a five-star review. This is a great podcast.

I enjoy listening to your opinions on Stephen King's work.
