storytold 's review for:
Hearts In Atlantis
by Stephen King
I think the second of these vignettes will stick with me for a long time, but that may be sentimental; it reminds me of stories my dad used to tell, and my dad also plays a lot of Hearts. On the other hand, it may have been as exquisitely good as I thought. It was the one story among these that was not, that I noticed, supernatural in the least, and it was a plain delight to see King's familiar style put to a comparatively mundane situation. I thought the story was deeply compelling.
I did not love the last 20% of this book, but it was interesting. As usual, I concluded the book feeling as though I missed some small detail that would have made it feel more profound than it did. I like the connections King draws between events, always, and I think this book was a really strong effort in a lot of respects, but just the end. I always want a little more.
