That being said, if you read this, please do; even if it's just for "Low Men in Yellow Coats." It's a beautiful story and I enjoyed it vastly more than the film adaptation of "Hearts in Atlantis".
The story of "Hearts in Atlantis" was also good, but not quite the same. The characters felt fully fleshed out and I really enjoyed Stoke's character.
"Blind Willie" made me feel nothing. I don't cope well with unlikable main characters and Willie was one of those.
However, "Why We're in Vietnam" and "Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling" were both equally touching in a different way from "LMiYC". My advice, read all of them except "Blind Willie" then read that last.
