– This is the book behind what I believe to be the very best movie of all times, "The Shawshank Redemption"! Therefore must also the novel be legendary in its quality! The two main characters are these: Red: He's an older black man who has been in the prison since his former years, when he killed his wife, having been up for parole several times, only to be turned down for not being remorseful enough, he openingly admits to having carried out the crime. He is the man in the prison who can get anything you need for a price, so has survived for that reason for many years. Andy Dufresne: A younger white man, recently come into the prison, but states that he is innocent, and keeps himself to himself, until one day when in the exercise yard he asks Red if he can get him a certain tool. This is the very best novel Stephen King has produced, the plot is amazing and brilliant, the characters fascinating and the entire book is legendary! This is a must read!
