Hmm... It's alright. It's similar to a novel I read before that started with "The Wandering Earth," but unfortunately that novel was taken down. I only read up to the part where it got to "The Three-Body Problem," and then I stopped reading because it was too short. I wanted to let it sit for a while, but when I wanted to read it again, it was already taken down.
It's pretty good, unlike other novels, especially screenplay-style novels, which somehow manage to pull out a brainless villain who keeps mocking the protagonist.
There's not much to say about this kind of writing; most people come here to read it like a movie review, so your choice of material is the most important thing. The Shawshank Redemption is definitely a 5 out of 10, and this story doesn't fall into the traditional trap of introducing a random, inexplicable villain. Honestly, this novel is really good (it hasn't made any major mistakes so far).
I think it's pretty good, especially since it mentioned one of my favorite movies. Five stars for you!!!
I thought it was quite good, but thinking about it, the movie was probably more captivating; the author's writing was better than the narration. 🍉
Alas, we were just about to fight to the death, why did the author surrender first? 😢
The writing is decent, mainly because it's packed with substantial content and avoids irrelevant tropes (like the protagonist chasing girls, buying things, or getting humiliated). While the criticism from viewers and judges regarding the humiliation and clichés felt a bit cheesy and aesthetically tiresome, at least the content focuses on the film's main points. Also, the female characters are only briefly mentioned, which is commendable.
@GoToTheDockForPotatoChips Author, could you please write about *The Truman Show* and *The Legend of 1900*? I absolutely love those two! 🍉
I'm wondering why you didn't include the 12th verse of chapter 8 of the Bible, which Andy mentioned in the original series, as the path to salvation.
I didn't come to read the novel; I came to read The Shawshank Redemption.
