I've just started reading Stephen King again and I'm glad I started with _Different Seasons_. Wow, is this book something! Hail to the King indeed! "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" is beautiful and so well-written. "The Body" is a terrific coming-of-age tale. But "Apt Pupil" was truly breathtaking. The ideas and imagery from that story will stay with me for a long, long time. I think it is King's best novella by far. This story alone is worth the price of admission. "Breathing Lessons" was all right to finish, although it didn't make as great an impact as the others. _Different Seasons_ is definitely a keeper.
