Wow wow wow. Definitely worth the listen with the audiobook! I would’ve given this 5 stars but I couldn’t get into the second story of this collection. The writing was fabulous, I enjoyed every character I came across. Stand outs were Red, the dr in the last story, and Chris in The Body. I feel like these characters were the best I’ve read so far in my obsession with reading King. My favorite was The Shawshank Redemption, The Breathing Method, The Body. I was shaken to my core near the end of The Breathing method that is THE ONLY REASON it tops The Body. I literally stopped breathing….lol. Anyway, this book is definitely worth reading because those three are 5 star reads in my opinion. I want to give these collections a 5 star but unfortunately Apt Pupil messed it up. Maybe I’ll go back and read it one day…who knows.
