Did you see the 2019 sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep?
Yes I did and I enjoyed it very much. I have never read the book so perhaps I should. I am a big fan of Mike Flanaghan who directed it and thought he did a great job. It is different in many ways to The Shining but I think it works well.
Doctor Sleep is also an excellent book. Mike Flannagan did a good job at adapting the source material, although there are severa differences between the book and the film.
Yes I have read about some of them I think, the ending in particular being different. The film version of The Shining is also different to the book in many ways, especially the ending. 
Apparently, Stephen King did not like what Stanley Kubrick did with the Shining. He has been vocal about this in interviews.
Yes I've seen this. I get where he's coming from to a certain extent. I love the book and prefer it, but the film is great in it's own right too. I suppose books get so much more of a chance to establish characters and setting so it doesn't surprise me when authors are disappointed.. 
That is a really good point and perspective. I am sure King had a good visualization of the stories and characters. Do you like the book ending of The Shining better than the film ending?
A good question as the film ending is so iconic with Nicholson's character stalking Danny through the snow maze. But I think yes I probably do prefer the book ending.
Jack Nicholson was so good in that scene. But, Stephen King was very unhappy with the casting of Nicholson as Jack Torrance. One of the actors that King preferred for the role was Jon Voight.
Quite surprising that isn't it, given how good Jack is. I think it is probably to do with how it is quite clear Nicholson's character has a bad side from the start. Whereas this is more nuanced in the book.
