Glenn Russell Thanks for your enthusiastic review. I have only read one SK --- the novella, The Body, turned into the film 'Stand By Me.' On the strength of your recommendation, I'll try this novel at some point.

Looks like this is the audio-book, correct? So, this isn't such a long novel, unlike a good number of his others?

Actually it is a novella. Just 130 pages long.

Great! I should be able to get to this in the next few weeks.

True that. I'd already seen the movie at least 60 times, and after that I read this novella and was overwhelmed. It's such a moving tale that you just can't stop loving it.

Councillor Great review, Sanjay! I'm currently reading the novella and being half-way through, I'm already sure it will get a five-star-rating. It's a wonderfully moving and inspiring story.

Lawyer Sanjay, what a fine review this one is. Once again, I'm late to the party. But, I'm glad I finally made it before it was lights out!

Shayne I like how you don't figure out that the book is going to be about internal hope and redemption until the very end when he escapes

Arah-Lynda What a wonderful through which to be introduced to King. Excellent review of the same.

That is true: in fact, it makes you read him even more. Thanks for stopping by, Arah.

Abhishek Great review Sanjay. How does the book compare to the movie?

Sanjay Gautam Abhishek wrote: "Great review Sanjay. How does the book compare to the movie?"

Thanks. In my opinion, both are equally moving, but it is the movie that has an upper edge: giving the film (and consequently the story) that feeling of grandeur. But this novella's strength lies in its prose, which is of another level entirely (or so I've felt).

Kathleen Lamorelle This was my first Stephen King King novel as well. Couldn't agree more!
