Hearts in Atlantis is great by Vested Id 07/23/2012, 1:54am PDT
Nothing like his other work but really interesting. A "collection of short stories" that is more like one novella with four other just-barely-related short stories attached, all about "the legacy of the 60s" according to the cover but reads more like King tapped into something he can just barely articulate. It's hard to classify but it's the favorite thing of his I've read. I think you might find fault with it.
