Well, I for one certainly didn’t expect to be writing another review so quickly. But I suppose Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is a novella, sitting pretty at a mere 128 pages, so it did not take long to finish at all. It’s another book that I decided to read because I’ve seen the film loads of times. It’s a fantastic film, and often cited as one of the best films of all time....

Somehow I’ve watched The Green Mile film half a dozen times but never actually sat down to read the book. But that has all changed, and as it turns out I really have missed out on a spectacular story and at least some affirmation that the film adaptation is extremely faithful to the book. I’ve read a handful of Stephen King novels, and whilst I certainly wouldn’t go so far as to call myself an aficionado, I would say that each one has been excellent....
