3 of 4 stories in this collection have been adapted to film, and it gave two masterpieces (The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by me), and a very good movie (Apt Pupil), and it's not for nothing .from great King, that takes guts, humanist and humorist dare I say, while going to the bottom of problems and unspoken; the news are less "fantastic" than usual, but no less admirable strength and concision.L'histoire "Apt Pupil" is probably one of the more disturbing that he could write, demonstrating how metaphorically a first American class becomes a perverse through being fascinated by his former neighbor nazi.Le film is not as hard as the news. "The Shawshank redemption" is beautiful and worth to be read even if you have seen the film ("escapees", so)
