I like The Shawshank Redemption . It was cleaver, and catchy. Good story, and not at all his usual kind. This one was completely non-supernatural! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Very good , and definantly something that even non-KingFans would definantly enjoy. The main caracters are very likable and the story is great. The movie, a must see, is simply titled The Shawshank Redemption; starring Morgan Freeman, and the guy who played the other main caracter.
Apt Pupil was also quite good. It had caracters with sick demented minds, but that was the point and it was well done. Interesting stuff, and nasty extra details. A story about a couple of evil people. This one was also completely non-supernatural, as is the next one.
The next one, The Body , is a very good story about a few young friends who hear about a dead body out near the train tracks in the woods, and they set out the go see it. Its one of those stories about those kids that go on an adventure at the small town, but this one was a nice read and kept me in it allthe way.
The last was quite short; The Breathing Method . Well, compared to the others. It was also the only one that suggests a supernatural event. It was good though, and interesting. A bit'o gore at the end, but that's okay. It's Stphen King ladies and gents, it's not surprising to see some when it's there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Though, I must say the first and the third didn't have any gore. Interesting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> Anyhoo, another goooo'.
Good...
