A review by bbabyok
Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King

3.0

I read this book because it’s supposed to be connected to the Dark Tower series, or at least one of the stories are. I had seen the movie with Sir Anthony which is actually the first of the five short stories called, “Low Men in Yellow Coats,” about Bobby Garfield of Harwich, Connecticut, who craves a Schwinn for his 11th birthday. But his widowed mom is impoverished, and so bitter that she barely loves him. Bobby’s mom takes in a lodger, Ted Brautigan and then tale turns and it is a Dark Tower story that just happens to be here in this novel instead of in the actual series. The other four stories are connected to the first weakly, but whole book is enjoyable.
