Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King's timeless novella The Body, originally published in his 1982 collection Different Seasons and adapted into the 1986 film classic Stand by Me, now available as a stand-alone edition.
Four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods in search of a boy from a nearby town who has disappeared. Gordie Lachance and his three friends set out on a quest to find the missing boy's body along the railroad tracks. The Body is set outside King's iconic fictional town of Castle Rock, which is the setting of many of King's most popular books including It and The Stand, and Castle Rock, a 10-episode Hulu original series, based on King's short stories. King's The Body is an iconic coming of age story that explores the loneliness and isolation of young adulthood.

Stand by Me
Loved the book as much as the movie. Was a fun and nostalgic read. Childhood friendships were something special—that few get to keep into adulthood. Hold onto your friends.
Ehh
My first Steven king book, this book was very slow for me and it was hard to get through. The last 50 pages is where it got good
