When you name Steven King, He I really the king of writing. Inspiration for me to buy this Novella , collected in Different Seasons , Collection with three other Fine Novellas, was the movie of the Same Name, The Shawshank Redemption.
Writing is always better than Cinematic medium; this statement is again proved with this. Not All expressions and emotions have been captured in the motion picture.
Though I have watched the movie prior to reading this novella, I could create the production design in my head, which helped me to visualize the plot even better.
The plot is very humane, I presume. The narrative style from the Character ‘Red’ is fantabulous.
The emotions carried by the ‘King’, the agony of prison-ed people, popular word, Institutionalized , has been carried exponentially beautiful. The words chosen in by the ‘King’ to describe the path of rehabilitation , A life inside those four walls of Prison, the system needs a thumbs up.
The plot when RED reaches for his final parole speaks up the story behind the bars.
Andy’s determination has been clearly exploited to define his power of dream to live.
I could write pages describing this novella which is just of hundred pages.
Read this, you will never regret, but you will add a sublime touch to your life post this read.
A must read of Steven King.
Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption.
