Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2013)

Best movie ever! Story line ...awesome! A man convicted of murder lives in a prison brutally ruled by a sadistic warden and secretly run by a con who knows all the ropes and pulls all the strings. The story is narrated by man named Red, who killed his wife to collect insurance. Everyone is probably thinking "what an awful man" and "I already don't like this guy" but throughout the story without knowing, you start to actually feel sorry for him and everyone else in the prison. I don't know what it is that Stephen King does but you really start to feel like they all have done nothing wrong. When a man by the name of Andy Dufrense comes to Shawshank on charges of killing his wife Linda Dufrense and her lover Glenn Quentin, who was a golf pro he changes the prison and he becomes a man nobody will ever forget. Andy claims to be not guilty, and throughout the story he tries to prove that. He usually keeps to himself and he has this attitude about him that doesn't seem right for a prisoner at Shawshank prison. He walks around calmly and upright just as if he was talking a walk through the park, this doesn't land Andy many friends. While doing his time in Shawshank he is constantly fighting a battle with these men people call the sisters and his freedom. This book is a very adventurous and somewhat mysterious book, it's probably not suitable for younger readers just because of the language and some sexual content, but I would definitely recommend it to young adults.
