Scribner Book Company Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

I am not much for Stephen King novels, but I wanted to read this one because I am such a fan of the movie. I was not disappointed with the novella at all, and it was interesting that the portrayal of Andy in the movie is slightly different than the way King develops him in the text. This is definitely worth reading if you enjoyed the film; just understand that in several respects it is different.

It's amazing how a master of the craft like King can spin a story. His imagination is boundless. Great story.

I had watched the movie adaptation more than 30 times and then this year (2020) I decided to finally buy the book. Stephen King needs no introduction and I couldn't stop reading the story until I completed it.
