I loved the narrator (Frank Muller) for the audiobook. He made the story come alive for me. It was very compelling and felt so real. I've not seen the film adaptation so I had no expectations going into this. I do question why this novella (?) is labelled as horror. It is a true suspense tale carefully crafted and had me on the edge quite often.Â
I didn't love the graphic depictions of r*pe in this, and wouldn't recommend this story to anyone who finds sexual assault triggering. While a small part of the story it is detailed and upsetting. Aside from that, this was an engrossing tale start to finish with great characters and a perfect atmosphere inside Shawshank prison across decades.
