Synopsis
Stephen King, whose first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation. Images from that war -- and the protests against it -- had flooded America's living rooms for a decade. Hearts in Atlantis, King's newest fiction, is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War. In Part One, "Low Men in Yellow Coats," eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast. In "Blind Willie" and "Why We're in Vietnam," two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow -- and as haunted -- as their own lives. And in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," this remarkable book's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him. Full of danger, full of suspense, most of all full of heart, Stephen King's new book will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave., Five interconnected, sequential tales set in the years between 1960 and 1999 center around the Vietnam War and weave together innocence, experience, truth, deceit, loss, and recovery., Stephen King, whose first novel,Carrie,was published in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation.

    Another great book by the King

    --Mr. Stephen king, another creative, Intriguing and mesmerizing novel. King is by far my favorite Arthur. As with any Arthur some novels are better than others but i haven't found one i dislike. Including thks one. I strongly recommend this book and if you really want a good series be sure to check out Stephen Kings dark tower series! It will not disappoint! Happy reading!

    My least liked Stephen King read

    I've read sooo many of his books and I did see the movie based on this book. I really enjoyed the first part of the book that followed along with the movie but then the rest of the book lost me, I struggled to keep reading, for the first time reading a Stephen King novel I lost interest and became bored but at least I finished it.

    Really liked the sections with overlapping characters that tells a much more in depth story than the viewpoint of a single character.

    This was one of Stephen King's books that I somehow missed reading. I really didn't know anything about it except the title. I really enjoyed it and read it in two days! Not unusual for me to read a book that quickly but this was a fairly lengthy one 😜
