It was good but not my favourite.
Now to watch Stand By Me!
pickAhhh, so good. When I was younger, I wouldn‘t have thought twice about four young friends going on a hike like this one. But now, it‘s horrifying to think of how dangerous it was. I loved the coming-of-age aspect and the narrator‘s nostalgia as he told this true tale from his childhood. Just an all-around great story by the master.
Next up #readingStephenKing: The Breathing Method which is the last novella in the Different Seasons collection.

Out of all the books I teach, this one tends to be a favorite of all my students. I'm glad they get as much out of it as I do.
Following tradition my final book of the year will be a Stephen King. I actually have not read anything by King in a very very long time so I am really looking forward to this. My first book of '23 will be an Agatha Christie. I haven't decided which one yet though.

I bought this today at The Briar Patch, a great bookstore in Bangor, after driving by Stephen King's house.

I‘m one of those people that appreciates a well developed villain almost more than the main character. Ace Merrill is a perfect example of this. I love to hate him. He‘s not a great person, but I love every minute I get to spend with his character. What about you? Do you have any characters that are technically villains, but you can‘t get enough of them. Come on join the club. 😂

pick" The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. It's hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life."
So many truths captured in this one.
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
pick🎧 50% through this book & I‘ve never seen it but it sounds like the premise for the movie ”Stand By Me”!
Its 1960 in Castlerock. 4 young boys search for the dead body of a missing boy Ray Brower not knowing how much death will impact them. It‘s a coming of age in a nowhereville small town story. So many side stories and hilarious period vernacular that I won‘t share here!
Frank Muller = good narration, it fit with this 60‘s story.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Because I‘m teaching English II and a class for those who failed English II previously, I ended up getting to read this twice this school year. I never get tired of it.
pick#2020Book52
I read this with my Remedial English class (full of reluctant readers) and they loved it!
pickAfter the first sentence I realized that this novel was the basis for the film “Stand By Me”. An iconic coming-of-age novel, 4 tween boys go in search of the young Ray Brower, who allegedly lies dead near a river miles away. I remember the film, with Corey Feldman and the late River Phoenix. Unforgettable!

pickBetter known as "Stand By Me" for those who didn't know the classic movie was originally a Stephen King novel. A whomping 180 pages to keep you busy for a few minutes. It's the quintessential coming of age story, capturing the rawness of childhood friendships. It's short and sweet, at least as sweet as King could be, and I may have gotten a little watery eyed at the end, even knowing what was coming.
pick#2019Book79
This was my second time reading this because I used it as a class novel for my sophomores. I loved it even more this time than the first read.
#October in Illinois. Waiting to pick up my kids from school. #chillingphotochallenge #Scarathlon #teamslaughter
pickI feel like I‘ve only seen bits and pieces of ‘Stand By Me‘ ages ago but listening to this #audiobook really made me want to go back and watch it all. The book offered a lot of nuance to the boys‘ characters that I never quite grasped from what I saw of the movie.

pickDue to my work schedule, it took me longer to read this than I care to admit.
This short story is the inspiration behind the movie stand by me. 4 friends take a trip by foot to see if a dead body is really there. Along the way they encounter many different obstacles.
I personally have never seen the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It's different than Stephen Kings typical story. It shows how friendships can grow stronger and break apart.
pickThe Body by Stephen King is a wonderful tale about the rise and fall of the friendship between a group of boys over the course of one morbid adventure and the aftermath of that event.
This was another book that I read for the Spring Into Horror Readathon and of course, I loved it!!

pickAs a child from the 80s, I reckon it‘s a travesty that I‘ve never seen the movie Stand By Me. 😱 But I wanted to read the book first. It started out slow, but by the time I finished it I could truly appreciate yet another brilliant story by the great Stephen King. Then, I naturally had to watch the movie afterwards. It did not disappoint and is a great adaptation that sticks closely to the story. 4⭐️

A coming of age story and a dead body. Pure King. Rob Reiner really is one of my favorite directors. Oh how time slips by.
Spotted this at Target today! The story behind my very favorite movie from my middle school days!
I bought both copies and want to give one away. For your chance to win a copy, post a blurb about your favorite book to movie adaptation. Be sure to tag me @Peddler410 and use #bookmovieadaptations
This is my first ever give-a-way!
Poolside! Never saw “Stand by Me” so I thought, why not read it first?
#KingAtoZ
Y is for Youth, and the skillful way King recaptures it in just about every novel. From the innocence of children, to kids on the brink of adolescence, King tells their stories of fear, bravery, loneliness, isolation, love, & self-determination faithfully. Their struggles are not diminished by their youth - he honors them all with a careful examination of their motives & choices. And his stories are richer for it.

S is for Stand by Me (aka The Body)

Before Litsy and my newfound SK obsession, I had absolutely zero idea that this movie was an adaptation of a King short story!
My eyes have been opened 👀 and now I can see
Need to read this one and rewatch the movie 🎥
B is for The Body
Great short story but, more importantly, the basis for one of my all time favorite movies!

• Day 2: Haven‘t read the story but the movie is a classic...sincerely! •

so-soI thought it was alright. I‘m not a huge fan of the film, either.
1. Shiny lights, a disco ball, and a pint of beer.
2. Chicken drumsticks, salad, not sure what else yet.
3. Stand by Me
4. Bought something for @DGRachel last night from Book Outlet
5. My cozy red cabin slipper socks

Love isn‘t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.
I remember being 11, shutting myself in my bedroom and reading this 😀 #youngamericans #septembowie
Who remembers Ray Broward's fate while berry picking? I loved this story even before it was a great movie - Stand by Me. Anyways I was thinking of Gordon, Chris, Teddy and (who was the chubby kid?) on their way to find a body...while I was picking berries today, if only I'd have had the audio book. Adding it to the re-read King adventure I've made up for myself. And what is Goofy? 😂
choosing one favorite Stephen King adaptation is impossible, so here are my top three: Misery, Carrie (1976), and of course Stand By Me. that train scene still gives me anxiety. #stephenking17 #favoriteadaptation
