innatejames 's review for:
Elevation
by Stephen King
A man discovers that, while his physical appearance appears the same, he is losing weight and becoming buoyant.
A short short story about how we cope with death. Sweet, funny, and sad all at the same time. King can tell a satisfying story without bells or whistles. It just feels like he’s talking to you as you read. That kind of naturalness on the page takes a lot of work and skill.
I thought the Deirdre/Scott friendship happened a little too fast for how resistant Deirdre was. The metaphor of the title felt a little forced to me. Still I highly recommend it.
