I didn't read the book. I've only read Carrie and The Green Mile
I loved that Vera left everything to her even though Dolores wasn't happy about it

The movie was odd that it was only $1 million dollars that she left to Dolores.
In the book it was many millions that was left to her and we don't find this out till the very end. She donated it to charity, but King is a bit of virtue signaller himself…..
She has 2 sons after Selena. The middle one despises Joe and Dolores is fearful that the younger son was going to be too influenced by Joe due to his gaslighting of him. Joe was a vile and nasty wicked piece of work. I don't think I've hated a character as much as him in a book.

Donating all that money to charity is very generous!
David Strathairn did an excellent job playing Joe

Strathairn is a terrific actor and the first time I saw him was in
Sneakers - '92
with Robert Redford playing a blind dude.
He is a real and in the moment actor and makes what he does seem so effortless. Joe was such a despicable character to play and he did the role justice. He made him pitiful and pathetic, without invoking pity for him which he really didn't deserve.
He was a slimeball extraordinaire and only someone of King's caliber can write characters like this really well and make them appear original as well.
