The creepy vibe is kinda lost the longer it goes on, but I still enjoyed it and it was still truly a feel bad story. Honestly the first 30 pages could've been a short story on their own, a really creepy one. The ending was good, which is rare for something written by King (I say, loving most things he writes).Īpt Pupil This one is so fucking creepy, which, OKAY, it's a King novella, of course it's gonna be creepy, but it's not creepy because of anything supernatural, it's creepy because Todd is the worst character I've ever had to read about. I've never seen the movie so I didn't actually know what to expect and I can't tell you if it's true to the novella or not, but all the same I truly did enjoy it.
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption Very good story. It's only the last one, about winter, that kinda hits the mark, but nah, I don't like it. The Body is named after autumn, despite taking place during summer vacation and the first two stories span several years. The name "Different seasons" is just "Seasons" in Swedish, and they fucking went with it, translating all the titles to one season each. I don't know if we have a Swedish word for that, probably something that I learned in school and forgot. They're what's called novellas in English, I believe. Lol "short stories" is probably not the right shelf, because they're not exactly short. Finally, a disgraced woman is determined to triumph over death in "The Breathing Method." … ( more) This novella became the movie Stand By Me. In "The Body," four rambunctious young boys plunge through the facade of a small town and come face-to-face with life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. Next is "Apt Pupil," the inspiration for the film of the same name about top high school student Todd Bowden and his obsession with the dark and deadly past of an older man in town. This gripping collection begins with "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," in which an unjustly imprisoned convict seeks a strange and startling revenge-the basis for the Best Picture Academy Award-nominee The Shawshank Redemption. The wondrous readability of his work, as well as the instant sense of communication with his characters, are what make Stephen King the consummate storyteller that he is, "hailed the Houston Chronicle about Different Seasons. A "hypnotic" (The New York Times Book Review) collection of four novellas from Stephen King bound together by the changing of seasons, each taking on the theme of a journey with strikingly different tones and characters.
