Lots of reviewers saying they haven't read the book. I've read it numerous times, and seen this movie several. All in all, I think it's one of the better King adaptations. Doesn't compare to either Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption as far as "true to original story," but in my opinion it's easily third behind these.
I almost wish this film was more recent, because I think more could have been done with today's special effects. But if you've read the book, the movie won't disappoint you -- it conveys the overall spirit of the book, if not all the specifics. Check it out... very much worth a rent.
