Strong character development: Yes

Going into Hearts in Atlantis I was unsure if it was going to interest me much, but partway through the first story I was hooked. The way King paints the years so vividly makes me feel apart of the story, like I was a kid messing around, or one of those Hearts crazed kids. This is one of my top 5 by King for sure. Not much happens terror wise, there are just beautiful stories that intertwine lives over decades.
