Re: Hearts In Atlantis

I thought everything written in the book was very well written, and I would have to agree that he was in splendid literary form. My only complaint is that for something labeled as a "novel" the mini stories of the book felt disjointed.

Which is probably why the film adaption is more like a snapshot of the total context of the novel. When you think of it, the movie only adapted no more than a forth of the book. I don't necessarily regret that the adaption didn't cover all the stories in Hearts in Atlantis, but the college segment of book was my favorite part.
