Hearts in Atlantis with Anthony Hopkins

[Joan]

My first experience with HIA was the audio tape version on a road trip from MI to GA. I really enjoyed Low Men in Yellow Coats but the rest of it was forgetable (sp?) I then saw the movie and thought it was okay, but enjoyed Anthony Hopkins in the part of Ted. After reading the Dark Tower series (twice, and loved it!!) I had to read all of the books that have a DT connection. I just finished reading this book and I loved it! I thought it was an excellent book and plan on adding it to my list of "to be read again". I really enjoy the non-horror side of Sai King

It reminds me more of Stand by me then anything else. Now I have to read the regulators. lol. The story has some supernatural themes in it yet they think the movie should not? How dare they! lol.

one can only hope when The Dark Tower movies get done they are
true to the writers vision...even though SK wrote the screenplay for
'Hearts' the movie, it certainly isn't like the book...

it wasn't a bad movie though, but SK's readers may expect more than
movie studios or producers can imagine...
