Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s timeless novella “The Body”—originally published in his 1982 short story collection Different Seasons, and adapted into the 1986 film classic Stand by Me—is now available as a stand-alone publication.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine. Ray Brower, a boy from a nearby town, has disappeared, and twelve-year-old Gordie Lachance and his three friends set out on a quest to find his body along the railroad tracks. During the course of their journey, Gordie, Chris Chambers, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio come to terms with death and the harsh truths of growing up in a small factory town that doesn’t offer much in the way of a future.
A timeless exploration of the loneliness and isolation of young adulthood, Stephen King’s The Body is an iconic, unforgettable, coming-of-age story.

This is a horror of another kind; no monsters or ghosts, no killers and no shadowy shapes. Just boys growing up, feeling impotent in their helpless years, boys being bullied, ill treated, neglected and antagonized. It's life in a little town; it could be yours or mine, it could be anyone's. And that makes it relatable and all the more realistic. Although I prefer King's scary tales the best, this novella is still an excellent read
I just can't. I don't know what it is about his writing I. This is the second book I read by him and I hated it. I tried so hard to follow along but I have to reread so I'll need her parts of the book to try to figure out what the hell was going on. I don't know if it was just the way I read. I am dyslexic so I don't know if it was just a me problem and the way. I was reading or what. But either way I just hated reading this one. I could not fall along. There are so many points like it would change up a little bit and I'd be like wait what overall not the story for me. I need to keep trying to read some of the stuff to see if I can find something like that. But for this being the second book and at the being a novella by him, I still did not like it.
