" Great novellas. The dialogue in apt pupil was pretty dated. The movie based on the same novella is nothing like it. Great collection though. "

" I had a cheap paperback of this come to me in the mail. It was the one that promoted that dribble film of Apt Pupil. I loathe that story as much as that film, but the rest, well that's just wonderfulness. "

" I didn't know Shawshank Redemption was a book first. Anyway, I never saw the film, but I really liked the book. The ending was very uplifting, and I liked King's writing style and the way that Red (the narrator) came alive in the words. "
