Anything that Hollywood did to King's books to make movies did not do any justice to King's talent he put into his books. There was not a good King movie until King got involved in the filming so Hollywood could not screw up any more of his works. Since I have seen King's remakes of The Shining and Carrie I cannot watch the older versions because they are total crap and quickly skipped over the actual story line. I have enjoyed every King movie since he took over the making of the movies. If King had left it up to Hollywood to do all his movies there would not be so many fans. If you have not seen the remakes of The Shining and Carrie, make a point of it because Hollywood did horribly trash his stories..

I wish he had done more with the bush animals. There was only one short scene where Wendy is screaming from the window as the animals stalk Danny. In the book Danny has a drawn out confrontation with the lions as he desperately attempts to get around them and back to the hotel.
