One of my favourite Kings books. Not only because of the story (which is, well... good) but also because of references to other writers that I love, like Clifford D. Simak.

This unique work of fiction features 2 novellas & 3 short stories, all interconnected. It's engrossing, clever, thought-provoking & emotionally complex. One of his best and that's saying something!
My full review & a sample of the audio, read by William Hurt:

My book review of Hearts In Atlantis by Stephen King. 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Stephen King will never fail to amaze me. On how he weaves together stories into additional stories, surrounded by stories. The only issue really that I have with him is the way that he creates ALL of his damn characters. There’s too many. 

“Hearts can break. Yes, hearts can break. Sometimes I think it would be better if we did when they did, but we don’t.”

But like I said, his storyline in this one trumps his massive character building, and I enjoyed this one of his very much. It felt very much like the beginning of his world before he creates the Dark Tower, and the gunslinger, and etc. I can’t wait to read more about it, and I feel like Mr. Ted is going to be a character that keeps coming back, or he better be. 

“Friends don’t spy; true friendship is about privacy, too.”
