sorry. I snored through it, except the first novella which I am not exactly crazy about, either (would have given it a four minus)
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall a good book. My breakdown (based on my 1-4 scale):
Low Men in Yellow Coats 4
Hearts in Atlantis 3 (and close to 4)
Blind Willie 3
Why We're in Vietnam 2
Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling 2
So, 1 excellent, 2 very good, and 2 so-so to good.
Overall, transposes to "4" on the 5-point scale, mainly on the strength of the first 2 stories.
I’m probably alone in this thinking but this is my absolute favorite SK book.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Not one of my favorites: 3.

Loved this book
2. Didnt like it at after the first story. I literally remember almost nothing about the rest of the stories.

3 from me. There were some really nice, touching moments but there were parts that bored me to tears.
4.5. Enjoyed this one a lot, and have gone back to re-read it.
Surprising to see this one all over the place.
The poll has closed. Hearts in Atlantis has earned a FAS (final average score) of 3.775000000 or 75.50%. It received a rating of 4/3 with 5 votes.
Very unexpected showing by this book, this is its lowest score ever. In all three previous tournaments it moved on to Round 2 and this time it has very little chance.
damn missed voting on this one. I would have been a 4.5
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
