Jacket review

'Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next is a gift ... Stephen King has this gift in spades' -- The Times on CELL 'To tell the truth, I just don't know what it is about that film that resonates with so many people. But everywhere I go people who have seen it react to it fondly. And I get the same kind of dialogue about it being one of, if not the, favourite movie.' -- Morgan Freeman, on The Shawshank Redemption 'There isn't a day when I'm not approached about that film, approached by people who are so ... thankful, who say how important that film was to them, and how many times they've seen it: twenty, thirty, forty times ...' -- Tim Robbins on The Shawshank Redemption
