Apt Pupil : A Novella in Different Seasons

Rating:
Summary: A King anamoly
Review: The only thing King has published that I actively dislike. I found it impossible to care about any character and thought the story could have (and should have) been told in about 100 pages. Hollywood might actually fix this one. Flames are directed to my hotmail addy.

Summary: Mr. King Is almost as good as Brian Gilmore from Gordon Tech
Review: King's writing shines in this, the finest example of his writing skills. He is almost now up to the standards of Brian Gilmore who has and will graduated from Gordon Tech in Chicago, Ill. King uses pathos and pun like a good writer who is like Brian Gilmore. Mister Gilmore is one step away from the Kingster and that concludes my logic

Summary: King's Holocaust Nightmare
Review: When I heard Apt Pupil was coming out as a movie I said so what? But then the announcer said "based on the novel by the author of 'Carrie' and 'The Shining'" I thought to myself...."Gee didn't Stephen King write those?" I went to the bookstore. I knew it wasn't a novel by itself, it had to be with a collection of stories, because I had never heard of it. Sure enough I found it with Different Seasons. I read it and even though it was slow at first, by the end King had me wincing when the Nazi war criminal burned a innocent cat alive in his oven. I just returned from the movie and it was very well adapted from the book. Read the book first then go see the movie. Both you will enjoy!

Summary: Must Read
Review: The Apt Pupil is very disturbing. It makes you think about every crusty oldman and every bright young boy living in your own nieghborhood

Rating:
Summary: not bad at all
Review: I've read almost all his books and I do say this is NOT his best that he's done.In my humble opinion the best would be insomnia,at least this far. Apt pupil is disturbing and makes you think,not very much though. I can't wait to see what they do to it in the movie. But rarley, very rarely do they make a movie better then a book. do read this one if you're to see the movie, you never know. Even us die hard fans like some of his not so suspenseful work.but it is scary to say the least.

Summary: Hope Springs Eternal during the Summer of Corruption.
Review: I was 15, when I first read different seasons. I picked it up to read "The Body." which had been adapted to become "Stand By Me". (Rob Reiner film)****. I later read "The Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", and "Apt Pupil". Them both being amazing. I had a dream that the latter would be the first film I direct. I found out while reading a newspaper that Bryan Singer had done it and it was playing at the Toronto Film Festival. This is a treat, in a manner of respect I think of being waiting seven years for. (--Going to see it tonight. Looking forward to it. ) It is a disturbing look at the psychological decay of a pubescent boy, as well the sickening bond (mutual-addiction) between himself and a Nazi (Denker/Dussander). Awsome read.

Review: I bought this book about in the middle of October And you have it on here as not being published yet?! Well why was I able to buy it for cheaper than what you are asking? The book is really worth reading

Summary: My, you certainly are an APT PUPIL
Review: Classic! Not frightening, but extremely disturbing. I wasn't jumping at shadows from this one, but it sorta puts weird thoughts in your head. Maybe that was the intention of King, who knows? More importantly, who cares? I do. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw! It's a great mainstream tale of boy meets nazi, boy goes on murderous rampage.
