I liked this story most of all four – I just love a good coming-of-age story and King just writes them best! 5/5 ★ At the start of the story they get to hear that the body of a missing boy is lying somewhere in the woods and they decide to go looking for it. At the start they seem like this innocent group of boys, but at the end they have gone through so many changes that made them more mature in a way.
The Body: I only know this story from the King episode of Family Guy 😂 It made me really curious about the actual story though! Just like IT it deals with a group of young friends who are “coming of age”.I didn’t see it coming and it unfolded into a weird and really uncomfortable read. To me, the shock of the actual story was what made me like this one so much. But yeah, I’m going to do the exact same and not give you any more information than the original synopsis. Apt Pupil: The short synopsis of this story on the back of the book didn’t really give me a good image of what I could expect.I watched the film not long after reading the story and I have to admit that I liked the film a little better than the story 🙊 4.5/5 ★ I can’t imagine being somewhere for about 50 years, then being pulled from there and thrown into a world you don’t know. It’s still a great story about what prison can do to a person. I can’t really put my finger on what didn’t meet my expectations, but those were only minor. I loved reading this story, but because I had really high expectations of it, it wasn’t what I thought it’d be. Without knowing what Andy wants with them … So when Andy Dufresne asks him for a rockhammer and a poster of Rita Hayworth he makes sure he gets them. Red’s an inmate in the Shawshank prison and in there he holds a special position: he’s the one who can get you anything. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: I guess we all know this story, either from the short story or the film.Below I will tell you a little about each of the four stories and tell you what I think of it along with my rating per story! So naturally I was looking forward to those two most. I knew the titles of two before reading Different Seasons, namely “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” and “The Body”. Nevertheless, as you can tell from my rating: I really loved reading all of the stories. However, I would not call all of them “novellas”, because two of them are at least 200 pages long. Different Seasons is a short story collection that consists of four “novellas”.
