Each story infused beautifully with the next without pause or stutter. I, like most middle aged people at some time, look back upon a childhood or a distant past and wonder. The way Stephen does this makes it all so believable. A subtle hint of supernatural in the first story leads the way to the very real horrors of Vietnam and a society trying to live through it. Once again brilliant, simply brilliant.

What an amazing, well structure book! Immensely Hard to put down once reading and one of my all time favourites after Full Dark, No Stars! Keep up the Good work, King!

Another book that is just top King. Masterly mixing the supernatural with the dilemas of an entire generation, Hearts in Atlantis delivers a solid collection that feels just like an entire novel instead of a novella and short story collection: It has a beginning and it concludes in a marvelous way, an ending that makes you feel in your heart everything every character experienced. 10/10

I love the story I've just finished it, also i watched the movie but i din't like it, Antony Hopkins as Ted Brautigan was good, but the other actors were horrible, the directors did not catch the spirit of the characters ....but i would read more instead of watching the movies...great story

This book is by far one of my favorites. I tried out playing hearts because of this book. I will be going to college as a freshman next month and I hope to have some good memories come of it.
