I couldn't put this one down until I finished it. I love Stephen King's writing and this is no exception. I enjoyed his take on the 60's and Vietnam and they way he explores his characters.

One of my favorites by King. Touching, haunting, very well written and thought-provoking. Classic King. Do NOT judge the book by the movie, I beg you.

Four connected stories of the '60's and how the Vietnam War shaped that generation.

I liked all the stories that are tied in at the end. This is the only King book that I have enjoyed.

More of a suspenseful thriller than a bloody thriller makes you think but a very good read

5 interlinked stories. "Hearts in Atlantis" is about college kids in the 60s who play the cardgame hearts instead of study while the Vietnam War rages in the background. My favorite, "Low Men in Yellow Coats", is about a boy who befriends an old man who seems to be on the lookout constantly. The story is tied to the Dark Tower, where we see Ted Braudigan, again, showing up towards the end of the Dark Tower saga.

Not my favorite. I liked how the stories converge, but ultimately the book falls flat nearing the end. I wouldn't suggest the read without some quality drugs.

An interesting book to read. There are two sections to the book so it shows the progression of the characters and their lives. It explores the lives of the characters and how the Vietnam war affected them through the decades.
