susysstories 's review for:

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
2.5
challenging reflective slow-paced

I liked the first story (and its characters) and the full circle in the last story. The three stories in between however dragged a bit to a lot (especially the second story) and I found myself skimming certain parts. Definitely not my favourite King. 

Low men in yellow coats: 3.5
Hearts in Atlantis: 2
Blind Willie: 2.5
Why we are in Vietnam: 2
Heavenly shades of night are falling : 3
