I read Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption this week. One quart of Stephen King's Different Seasons book.
The film from Frank Darabont is hugely faithful to the story even at two and a half hours long. The novella is just over 100 pages.
The story takes place across decades of prison life so as you can imagine much is skipped over in the prose across that 100 pages with only certain events looked at in detail.
I sorted my King novels out last weekend and collected them all together in one place. I had no idea i had two copies of Different Seasons.
I'll let myself off though seeing as they have two wildly different covers and differing titles too.
