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.

Similar to King's other non-horror stories, this was a heart-warming jaunt. It was also a quick read. Could be done in an afternoon.
