★★★★★Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen KingHearts in Atlantis by Stephen King was a great book, in my opinion. It contains 5 short stories, from different period in Bobby's life. The first is Low Men in Yellow Coats. In this one we learn Bobby's dad died young, of a heart attack, and loved to gamble. And he's mom's favorite saying is "your father didn't exactly leave us well off." He see a bike he really wants for his 11th birthday, but she says they can't afford it. The second is Hearts in Atlantis. Blind Willie is third. And Why We're in Vietnam is the fourth. Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling, ends the book, with Bobby coming back home, grown up. He hopes to find his first love still there. Redemption, might just happen for him after all. And there still is that one secret, but will it come out. I would recommend this book, but if you want to watch the movie, I'd say to do that first. I had such high hopes for the movie after reading this book, but was very disappointed, because I felt cheated. I was expecting it to be off the whole book, but was not even close.
