ofearna 's review for:
Hearts in Atlantis
by Stephen King
I liked the first story the most of the 5 linked novellas that make up this book.
For once, the Dark Tower theme was necessary, but not overwhelming and didn't get in the way of a good story that *wasn't* really about the Dark Tower.
The second story was quite mythopoeic--touching, fantastical, and human. The last three were good, but seemed almost afterthoughts, but the *feeling* you get from reading King stories set around the 1950-1960s and from the POV of nascent adolescents is just so good.
I can see why they filmed "Low Men In Yellow Coats" and chose to keep the name "Hearts in Atlantis" for the movie, though.
