![]() ![]() It’s kind of a coming-of-age story about a group of kids who set out to find a missing kid from a nearby neighbourhood and what happens to them along the way. ![]() Next is The Body, which has been adapted into a film called Stand By Me. It asks you as the reader a lot of questions, and while it’s always kind of bleak to read about Nazis, I found this nevertheless enjoyable. The boy basically blackmails the Nazi into reliving his days as an officer at a German concentration camp and the story follows the effect that has on his mind and personality. The next one up was probably my favourite, a story called Apt Pupil which is about the unusual relationship between a young boy and an elderly Nazi. With nothing but time on his hands, he starts a project to take his mind off the incarceration. It follows the story of a man who’s been jailed for murder but who claims he’s innocent. I actually prefer the movie and thought that the story was only so so, with little in the way of an actual plot. ![]() The first one is Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, and you might already be familiar with it because of the movie. It also stands out because it’s not one novel but rather a collection of four different novellas, some of which I enjoyed more than others. Different Seasons is an interesting book because it’s one of King’s earlier releases and so it retains a lot of that early King flair that so characterises his early work. ![]()
