Great book. The stories were just the right length and kept you interested. I bought this because I wanted to read "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" and then found out that "The Body" was also in there. Both were just amazing. I definately recommend people to read them. The other two stories, I had never heard of but they were both exciting and had many twists. Any Stephen King fan would love them.
If you are a Stephen King fan, then this book is for you. A collection of 4 of his best short stories, 3 of which went on to become blockbuster films. "The Body" was the inspiration for the film 'Stand By Me', and the film 'Shawshank Redemtion' is based on the story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption". "Apt Pupil" was also attempted as a film, but not to much avail. The fourth story, "Breathing Lessons" is also a great King story.
I really love the movie, so I was very curious about the the book. A must read if you you love the movie. Came super fast, too.
