	Stephen King Hearts in Atlantis
		Hearts in Atlantis, King's newest fiction, is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999.
		He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror.
		In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.

	Hearts in Atlantis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Hearts in Atlantis is powerful in the way that characterises all of Stephen King's works, even the most schlocky, and brought me to tears at times.
		Hearts in Atlantis is also deeply flawed, both by its own internal construction problems (being basically four stories under one roof), and by some of the plot devices that King borrows from other books (the Dark Tower series in particular).
		Hearts in Atlantis is, in the end, about those nightmares which are most terrifying, those nightmares which are of the heart and not of mind or body.

	Hearts in Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hearts in Atlantis (1999), is a fictional work by Stephen King.
		Significantly, the opening epigram of the collection is the Peter Fonda line from the end of Easy Rider: "We blew it." All of the stories are about Baby Boomers, and in all of them, the members of that generation fail profoundly, or are paying the costs of some profound failure on their part.
		The next part, "Hearts in Atlantis", takes place in 1966 and is about Peter Riley who has just started at the university.

		Hearts in Atlantis is the latest cinematic adaptation of a Stephen King work, based on King's short novel Low Men in Yellow Coats (contained in the anthology volume Hearts in Atlantis).

	HEARTS IN ATLANTIS
		Atlantis was adapted by William Goldman, who had previously penned the big-screen version of Misery and is in the process of working on the script for King's Dreamcatcher.
		King's Atlantis is a book comprised of five related short stories, but the main focus here is on the first (and longest) tale, called Low Men in Yellow Coats (the film's title comes from the second chapter).
		In Atlantis, which is supposed to be told through the eyes of young Bobby, one would assume he would have to be in each scene in order to have the memory to which to flash back.

	Kev's Stephen King House of The Green Mile
		The opening selection, "Low Men in Yellow Coats," is long enough to be a novel, "Hearts in Atlantis," the second piece, is a novella; "Blind Willie" and "Why We're in Vietnam" are short stories, and the final piece, "Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling," is a short, sweet coda.
		Hearts in Atlantis is a stunningly well-written book, at turns both supernatural and realistic, optimistic and crushingly sad.
		As one not of the generation Hearts in Atlantis discusses, it is hard to say whether or not the book in any way truly captures the feel and the flavor of the Baby Boomers.

	HEARTS IN ATLANTIS - DVD
		Directed by Scott Hicks, more of a visual stylist than a storyteller, Hearts in Atlantis is a hollow addition to the cottage sub-genre of non-horror adult contemporary King adaptations that includes The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and most glaringly, Stand By Me.
		Wishy-washy and grating in its earnestness, Hearts in Atlantis pushes all of its stickiness to the background long before a conclusion that goes from merely manipulative to shameless.
		Hearts in Atlantis is as much of a sleepwalk as the Santo and Johnny guitar moaning on its calculated all-oldies soundtrack.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Hearts in Atlantis
		And mine arrived in the shape of Hearts in Atlantis, what the word on the street said was a series of four interlinked novellas.
		Hearts in Atlantis opens with "Low Men in Yellow Coats," a novella in relative terms only (at 244 pages it's considerably longer than King's last book, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon; together with "Hearts in Atlantis" it occupies nearly 80 percent of the book).
		"Hearts in Atlantis" pulls us 6 years deeper into the 60s, beginning on the day when a small group of college freshmen get their first glimpse of the peace sign, and fail to recognize it.

		Now, with Hearts in Atlantis, a new kind of King book, we will read him because he's a fine storyteller and a fine craftsman.
		As King himself says, "Then came Hearts in Atlantis, and it unlocked something in me that has been waiting patiently to find expression for thirty years or more.

		HEARTS IN ATLANTIS is the story of an 11-year-old boy and the relationship he shares with a mysterious old man with a special power who boards in his house one summer.
		By far, the worst thing about Mychael Danna's HEARTS IN ATLANTIS score is that there's too little of it.
		His music for HEARTS IN ATLANTIS may be short on this disc, but it travels great distances in terms of emotional weight.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Hearts In Atlantis (2001)
		The film, unfortunately, focuses primarily on the weakest of the three, and while Anthony Hopkins (2001's "Hannibal") is his usual radiant, understated self as Ted Brautigan, the subplot involving his psychic abilities and fear of the "low men" doesn't quite fit with the more realistic sections of the picture.
		Splendidly photographed by late cinematographer Piotr Sobocinski (2001's "Angel Eyes"), for which this was his final project before his death, "Hearts in Atlantis" ends up packing quite a wallop by the finale, as the movie allows the viewer to recollect on their own childhood.
		"Hearts in Atlantis" has its problematic areas, and not every moment is as good as the last, but those sporadic downfalls do not take away the mood or powerful effect that director Scott Hicks creates, as a whole.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Stephen King - Hearts in Atlantis at Epinions.com
		Hearts in Atlantis is an experimental book for King, broken up into three major stories that are inter-related with each other, sharing main characters, secondary characters, and even auxiliary/supporting characters.
		For instance, a main character in the first part of the book (set in the early 1960's) is a secondary character in second part of the book (set in 1966, six years later).
		Overall, Atlantis is as well-written as anything else by King, and the die-hard King fan will be pleased to know that he has thrown in just enough of his trademark oddities (mostly towards the end of the book) to make you stop and scratch your head and wonder what exactly he is up to.

	Hearts In Atlantis Movie Review
		On a third level, Hearts in Atlantis is a strange and somewhat twisty mystery.

	Box Office Prophets
		Hearts in Atlantis is a film that is perfectly timed in wake of the tragic and horrific events to which the American public has been witness these past couple of weeks.
		Reminiscent of Stand by Me (which, like Hearts in Atlantis, was based on a work by Stephen King), the movie is heartfelt and ultimately uplifting, and audiences will love it.
		Still, Hearts in Atlantis succeeds by being an unobtrusive, thoughtful look at the importance of friendship and loyalty through the youthful eyes of a highly-appealing and thoroughly likeable young character.

		That's because there is something very important missing from Scott Hicks adaptation of Hearts in Atlantis -- or rather the story 'Low Men in Yellow Coats' from that collection.
		Ted is on the run from somebody, but for the time he can stay he is a father figure to Bobby, and a gateway into a wider and scarier world.
		The book Hearts in Atlantis is about the 60s, and Vietnam, and regret.

		"Hearts in Atlantis" presents five shorter works of varying lengths, whose settings span four decades.
		Because King doesn't push the symbolism too hard, investing the card games with a genuine sense of suspense and the characters with real poignancy as they grapple with politics and sex for the first time, the novella succeeds in capturing the essence of certain time and place.
		"Hearts in Atlantis" shows that he's still trying to re-make himself, this time by addressing big issues and mainstream concerns.
