I can’t help laughing
as I read this book. If you ever thought Stephen King was all about dark, grimy
tales of horror and gloomy thrillers; tell you what, you are wrong. During my
high school days I read tons of King’s books and yes, they were horror stories
but I enjoyed them nonetheless. In fact, he became one of my favourite writers
worldwide. Right now, after so many years, I’m reading a Stephen King again.
This one is entitled Hearts in Atlantis and it’s a collection of his novellas
and short stories. I’m still on the first story and hey, this man took me off
guard with this style of writing. He’s created this fragile young character who
immediately won my heart and compassion. This story, told on the backdrop of
the 60’s, is both fun and sad. It is
such an inspiring read. I find myself pausing now and then to jot down
something in my journal. Take away
everything from me. But please, not my books.
