Apt Pupil

[char80]

I'm halfway through the book now and after reading everyones comments I can't wait to read the rest! I have to say that so far I am really impressed, especially with the way the story kicks in so quickly!!

Hi Char

I guess that I'm the logical person to respond to this, but to be honest, if I was introducing someone to Stephen King, then Apt Pupil would be a long way down my "recommended reading" list.

Not saying that there's anything intrinsically wrong with it, but it's just not one of my favourites. On the bright side, however, if you really like it, then there's a whole mountain of other SK stuff that you'll positively love.

LOL @ aptpupil. Aptpupil was one of my favorite short stories when I had favorites. That story stuck with me for a long time. When others had faded from my memory that one was still clear. Not sure what it was, the sheer potential for evil I think.
Glad you are enjoying it!

Hi Char, If you like this story, you will love the Dark Tower series.

I agree with Danivan. It's the one short story I go back to over and over.

It's been quite a few years since I read this story, but I do remember that I found it very intriguing.

Just adding my 2 cents! Liked the movie, loved the book! The book was much more interesting! I think the book got much deeper into both psyches.

the movie is good

The story left a long lasting impression on me, and I recently reread it and found it better than ever. The film I liked so so, I though the casting wasn't bad, but it lacked some of the power the book had, as usually happens in cases like these.
