My uncle told my it was way different from the movie though, like it's more about Jack's alcoholism and less about the supernatural, is that true?
your uncle has it backwards ..
The book definately dealt more with the supernatural but Kubricks film version portrayed Jack as going mad. Everything was in his mind.

that caused a huge problem between kubrick and king - and eventually king did his own made for TV version.
