When he discovers weak concrete in his cell wall, he begins slowly digging a tunnel with his rock hammer. Andy, who collects rocks, buys a rock-hammer from Red, likely hoping his hobby will make prison more bearable. In Shawshank prison, when rapists assault Andy, he fights every assault, demonstrating his persistence and his desire for agency. Andy’s wrongful conviction demonstrates the power of storytelling to shape reality. The district attorney who prosecutes the case tells a plausible story about Andy as a calculating killer, while Andy tells the unconvincing truth: he bought a gun prior to the murders because he was contemplating suicide, and he can’t remember exactly what happened the night of the murders because he was drunk. In 1948 he’s wrongly convicted of murdering his wife Linda and her lover Glenn Quentin. Before his imprisonment, Andy worked as a banker. I really loved this audiobook/story I am very happy I brought this book and I can't wait to listen to more.Andy Dufresne, the hero of Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, is a slight, good-looking man who wears glasses and keeps his fingernails “always clean.” His calm, ironic demeanor makes some people believe he’s cold or snobbish. Frank Muller does a great job narrating the story playing RED, he reminds me a lot of Morgan Freeman and I believe is perfect for the reading of this book, I can't wait to hear more of his audiobooks. I also love how a lot of the words from this story were used straight into the movie word by word CLASSIC. I was very interested to know some characters in this story were in fact blended into one character in the movie and the death of Tommy never happened was a major shock to me. This short story gives so much more info to what we see in the movie and its little details that I wish was used in the movie but I understand the time frame and trying to fit everything is not always easy.
