Stephen King Goes to the Movies: Featuring Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

Stephen King

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

For the first time in one volume, each with a fascinating introduction, come the stories of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, Hearts in Atlantis (Low Men in Yellow Coats), 1408, The Mangler and Children of the Corn. These five classic tales were turned into successful international films starring some of the world`s most famous actors from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption through Anthony Hopkins in Hearts in Atlantis to John Cusack in 1408. Now you can read and re-read and own the originals.

    Ok, I’ll admit it; I only read this book because it contained the “Rita Hayworth” story, so imagine my disappointment when I saw that it was a short one. But that particular story was as good as I hoped, so it was worth it! The other stories are good as well, in true King style, though I do feel that the “men in yellow coats” story could probably be a book of its own (though then not as long as Kings other books, I suppose).
