Search - Hearts in Atlantis

King takes on the '60s'..although it is difficult to believe, the Sixties are not fictional: They actually happened.

Wow, what a great book. Long but worth the read.

Impressive, a wonderful story of courage,faith,and hope. It is engaging and difficult to put down

This book is not one of my favorites by King and some of it is hard to get through but it is an okay 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.

Nobody out-King's Stephen King. This is a wonderful view of the 1960's including the effects of vietnam on the average guy and oru culture in general told by a master story teller.
