Stephen King
Different Seasons

Opinion

Another book where you can't confirm your prejudice about Stephen King. There is no (well, not much) horror in these four stories.

My favourite (naturally, look for my TOP-11 movies) is 'The Body' on which Stand by me' is based. The story of four 12 year old boys, who take off to search for the body of a boy their own age - and who leave their childhood behind.

Another great movie has been made out of 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption'. This novel tells the story of a man, who is convicted for life although he is innocent and who has to wait for 20 years until he gets his chance to escape.

The other two seasons (summer and winter) are 'Apt pupil' and 'The breathing method'.
