kmk182 's review for:
Hearts in Atlantis
by Stephen King
"But when you find a book that has both good story and good words, treasure that book."
This quote sums up this book. As I've read through all of King's books (I have about 20 left) there's one thing I've discovered.... King is more a master of the youth melodrama than horror. Where he often gets tied up in the supernatural, its stories like this that are his true strength. The fact is this is pretty simple and basic and much like Shawshank or The Body, it is some of his best work.
Having read some 50 King books with little else in between this was a fresh of breath air. The only fault I had was the elements of Dark Tower distract. Perhaps once I tackle Dark Tower that will change; but those elements would make it a hard sell to reccomend to someone who knows nothing of that story. It really comes out of left field.
