Different Seasons is actually a set of four novellas. They are all so completely different. They don’t go together at all and most of them were long enough that they could totally have been their own separate book. I reviewed each of the four shorts separately and averaged my rating at a 4. Reviews: Shawshank…

#Review #5stars The Breathing Method, by Stephen King #Keepers of King
MY REVIEW 5 stars: The Breathing Method is the shortest story in the Different Seasons set by Stephen King. And by short I mean significantly shorter. I listened to the whole set on audio, usually on a fairly quick speed. This is the final story and I sneaky listened to the whole thing while I…
#Review #4stars The Body, by Stephen King #keepersofking
MY REVIEW 4 stars: I vaguely remember watching Stand by Me as a kid – the movie based on this novella. It was kind of cool remembering bits and pieces of it while reading. All the impactful scenes, like the train stuff, the kid searching for pennies under the porch, the dog and the junk…
#Review #3stars Apt Pupil, by Stephen King
MY REVIEW 3 stars: I’m actually reading the full Different Seasons set, but I feel like these ‘short stories’ aren’t really short at all, and that they need separate reviews of their own to compile once the set is finished -then average the rating. I struggled to decide on a rating for Apt Pupil. I…
#Review #5stars Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, by Stephen Kink #KeepersofKing
MY REVIEW 5 STARS: This classic novella, to me, has a bit of a different feel to it than a lot of other King books. The pace, the impact, the calculation… really just all of it. There’s a sense of patience and buildup that has a sort of satisfaction to it. For the most part,…
#Review #4stars #KeepersofKing Billy Summers, Stephen King
MY REVIEW 4 stars: I enjoyed this book quite a bit, not quite as much as I’d have liked to, but quite a bit nonetheless! I felt like it was missing something… like that big outrageously impractical bang that makes King such a literary King. I also felt like it was too long. I actually…
#Review Rose Madder, by Stephen King… 4 stars
MY REVIEW 4 stars: I’m a little confused… Lol, I just walked away from my computer for like an hour and came back to this one sentence that I’d written to start my review, but then got distracted. I’m a little confused… Wow, talk about the truth!! Is it weird to say that most of…
#Review TommyKnockers, by Stephen King 3.5 Stars #keepersofking
MY REVIEW 3.5 stars: I was really looking forward to reading this book! I even downloaded it on audible a month before the Stephen King reader’s group that I’m in was scheduled to read it – on accident. I guess I got a little ahead of myself. King has a way of writing cliche topics…
#Review The Dead Zone, by Stephen King 3.5 Stars #keepersofking
MY REIVEW 3.5 Stars: I really built myself up for this book. In King’s memoir On Writing, he mentions The Dead Zone quite a bit. So, between that, and the fact that James Franco is the audible narrator, I really had my head and heart set on this being, like, the best King book of…
