The plot and Andy carried hard
I think it’s a good story, I don’t entirely agree with some of the terminology used but that’s just me and prison is tough so I guess you gotta use the tough words to portray that.
I feel the story starts out fast (

which is fair since it’s just a summary

)but turns more medium paced after the half way mark or a little passed that. I don’t have any complaints with that but just thought it’d be important to disclose.

I mean, I don't know what to say about this book. I think maybe I just don't gel well with Stephen King but despite this books short page count I found it a real drag to get through.
