【King can still hit a home run!!】 "The Body", by Stephen King, is a small masterpiece.+++++ I'm very curious about the plot and I ask myself, if it is rather a horrifying or tragically story. ***** I read it while the summer vacationing, his neck of the woods... ...and laughed so hard and so often that my companions began to look at me with suspicion. The cover shows four boys at the age of twelve who are following the railway tracks. In their backpack they have sleeping-bags. They seem to be excited and have great fun.!!!! Because of the cover and the blurb, I suppose that searching for the dead body must be a big adventure for the boys. Because of the sleeping-bags I suppose, that they take a long trip, maybe of a view days. Say what one may, the guy can write. In fact, his book on writing is also very good. I luv the way he keeps you afraid, interested and provokes thought all at the same time. The story line was unpredictable, I kept turning the pages for more.!!!!!
