    From this summary I can tell that this novel has its deep emotional viewpoint. This makes me want to explore more abour Abby and the stories behind the generations in the Whitshank family. I related to Red's character, as it's described in this analysis, I'm a practical and down to earth man like him
  • Good approach

    This was really helpful in helping me understand everything going on in this book. The analysis really detailed a lot of things that I was unclear about when I read the book the first time. This analysis and summary was really helpful for me.
