I have read Shawshank, low men in yellow coats & the Mangler. Shawshank…., is an impressive work. It transports you & for anyone who has seen the movie, a source of joy as the script mirrors the movie closely. Low men in yellow coats, is also vivid & keeps one engrossed. It lacks the majesty of Shawshank, though. The last one is typically Stephen King, meant to scare. But that is about all.

Normally I steer away from short stories, but recently I revisited the movie Shawshank Redemption and had forgotten what a wonderful movie it was.I then discovered it was based on a Stephen King short story, and was only available on Kindle Books with four other Stephen King offerings.I was so inspired by the movie that I bought Stephen King Goes to the Movies.While the other four stories are up to Mr. King’s normal high standards, Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption soars above any other popular fiction that I have ever read.I say that without any hesitation.I know that most readers will have seen the movie at some stage over the last twenty years, so I won’t go into the plot in great detail, only to say that there are some deviations, but broadly, the book runs along similar plot lines to the movie. I found reading this book a far richer experience, as it delves into the personalities of the two major protagonists in far greater depth.The entire story is told in the first person, in a folksy way by Red: his experiences while serving a life sentence in a harsh penal environment, and his relationship, and observations of “fellow lifer” Andrew DeFresne. He describes the soul destroying experience of prison life; the sheer brutality, degradation and deprivation.But through all the despair and futility, DeFresne’s strength of character sends a message to all of us who take the journey to the final page. Sunshine will always follow rain. Light comes after dark. Hope will overcome hopelessness.This book is truly inspirational!
