At the time I had no idea who Rita Hayworth was.  So when I first saw this novella, I wasn't interested in it very much.

    <body><![CDATA[For those of you that don't know, this is actually a short story included in a book called &quot;Different Seasons&quot;.  The story is only about 100 pages long and won't take you much longer to read than it would take to watch the movie.  Speaking of which, if you love the movie (and who doesn't) ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41648651">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was actually written as a screenplay first, then made into the book. Oddly enough I equate the main character with the Old Testament's Joseph in Egypt. An innocent with circumstances that condemned him to a crime he didn't commit. As well with his endurance within the prison and want to make it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70801187">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well first of all I thought it was better than the movie, but the movie is still great. The one problem hat I had with the book is that the ending was boring and somewhat bad compared to the movie. In the movie Red actually sees Andy again and it looks as if they were turning their fortune around. I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40057348">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I can't remember if I read this before or after the movie.  I know I got the book as a gift right around the time the movie came out but can't remember the order.  One way or another, both the book and the movie were fantastic.  I love this side of Stephen King, I love his character development.

    <body><![CDATA[Basically, the main character is found guilty of a crime he did not commit, and it thrown into the prison system. He soon learns that favors can be bought, and some of the guards are more corrupt than the prisoners. And over the next 20 years, he patiently works out his escape plan.

    <body><![CDATA[I know Stephen King is the master of horror, but this is a terrific book that has nothing to do with the horror genre.  I feel that Stephen King is most effective when he writes serious novels.  The Shawshank Redemption is an excellent example of this.  If you only read one novel in your life by Ste...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45848561">more...</a>]]></body>
