Law and Order short (0 more)
I felt this book started off really strong with a great first short story but seemed to be very hit and miss from there. The Law and Order SVU themed short was entirely too long and pointless and I couldn't help myself from skipping through most of it after only a few seasons.

So much to work with just to fall so short.
The real story is really interesting. You wouldn't know it from this movie, though.

Typical King Thriller
A very good if slightly odd Thriller, but you expect nothing else when it's based on a short Stephen King story.

I liked this short story, I just wish it would have been a little longer. Glad I got picked as a first-reads winner.
  
I enjoyed this short story. The author's voice is definitely something you have to get used to but all in all it was entertaining.

Amazing story
Based on a Stephen King short story
Probably the most loved film ever!
Ask most people their favourite film and this will be the most mentioned. Great story of over coming hardship and being better for it. A very emotional film.
