4.5

A unique story which I thoroughly enjoyed the writing of. Whilst it is a shorter novel, it certainly doesn't lack detail and depth. In some situations, the 'truth' is unclear as it's from Red's perspective rather than Andy's himself but it is interesting to have the narrator recount someone else's story.

Note: I read the book AFTER watching the movie adaptation.
