1. "Hearts in Atlantis," by Stephen King.

Must say I find it disappointing on several levels. First, the plot is extremely slow-moving, to the extent I don't really know what it is. Second, he's divided the book into two parts, the first told in second person and the second told in first person, with only a vague overlapping of characters and plot.

I'm going to finish it, but this may be my last King for a while.

And congratulations on the parade!
