Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemtpion - You know the story. If you don't, I'm sorry that you haven't seen maybe the best movie ever made. Hope is a good thing, and what the story does different from the movie is that you never know the fate of Andy, or if Red made it to the pacific. Everything being related from Red's perspective makes you hope that he will get to see his friend again and shake his hand. Undiscussed 5 stars.
Apt Pupil - A brilliant and smart preadolescent boy finds out that one of his neighbours is an old nazi officer. From there the two of them develop a toxic relationship that could ruin both of their lives. Eventually everything goes downhill, as you would expect. It's the kind of story where you know the consequences will get worse progresivelly, and that's exactly what happened. At the beginning the kid was a bit too smart for his age to me but otherwise a decent read, 4 stars.
The Body - A poor copy of IT, a bunch of kids from a rural area. Due to it's small small size I felt that four characters were way too many, but eventually we lost focus on two of them and redirected our attention to the other two. Kind of a coming of age story that teaches you to look for yourself first and not to let others drag you down. 4 stars.
The Breathing Method - Nothing too exciting about this one, except the eerie feeling that the butler gave away. 3 stars.
Overall, a good collection of Stephen King stories, 4 stars.
