While I have read[and own] most of stephen king's books,this one somehow has remained unread. I will be finding it soon.

While I have not read many of Stephen's novels and having not liked the ones I did read, I was delighted by "Different Seasons." Specifically, "Apt Pupil" is a finely constructed and insightful character study that reveals the ugly face behind the fascade of smug American normalcy. My other favorite is "Shawshank," which is rich in character development and subtext. A bravura collection!

One of my favorite books. Ever. Each story is a masterpiece. And, in a fashion, there's more than four stories ... "The Revenge Of Lard Ass Hogan" is the funniest thing I've ever read. Personally, I think Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption is far superior to the movie too, as is Apt Pupil - the most shocking in the collection with a memorable ending. The Breathing Method is the only (slightly) low note after its intriguing premise.

Sorry for my english, This book was very good. I could stop reading it. All those novels were like a suite of only one story. I really appreciate ready that book. I am a big fan of yours. I read almost all your books. You always find the way to surprise me. I am 52 years old and I read a lot and I mean a lot of books about strange, macabre, and dective stuff. But, the way you wrote those story is a lot different of all I ever read before. There's only one other guy who was able to give me the same kind of sensation and it was Edgar Allan Poe and it was not in each book that he wrote because some of them were not that good. The way I see it, right now, you don't have competition. You are the only one that could describe a scene and give goose bump to somebody only because he is ready one of your book. Keep up the good work! Viking from Montreal, Quebec, Canada
