I am 17 and about to go off to college. I saw Stand By Me and was completely captured and brought back to my youth. After this, I was dying to get the novella and when i got it, i read it in 3 days (the fastest I have ever read anything in my life). It captivated me from the moment I started it and I loved every page. It never got boring for me, and brought much more detail in than the movie and helped me understand the characters more and feel for them more. Absolutely AMAZING read, and one that will stick with me for the rest of my life!!!!

I am 13 and have read just about every stephen king book there is, exept for the body.I have no idea while they didnt just call the movie the body I went crazy trying to look for stand by me as the book!When alas I found out by watching stand by me that its called the body .So I spent like 6 months trying to find the body plus the 1 looking for stand by me.I went to every book store in Indiana drove, my parents crazy,and texted for the first time trying to find this godly book.So this is so off course but I texted chacha,its like a number to text for answers to longly wonderd questions and askd him where in the world could I find The body by the mastermind behind the curtain Stephen king. He replied Try amazon.com.So I did,and it was 70.00 dollars for paperback and 140.00 dollars for hard cover used!!!!!!!!!!!So I told my dad that and he was like "well try ebay" so I did and the longing to my life right there and it was only $1.99 I just about peed my self!So I spent all day trying to find out about how to bid on ebay,now I doneven know if im even going to get it!Although who ever put that this book was lame he better b happy that he did read it and he is so wrong none of stephen kings books are lame! Also to the 12 year old that said he was going to find it and read it liked your story you sound just like me so when I am done he can read mine!!!!!
