The Body by Stephen King ~ Book Review

[@joeyp174]

Wasn't it in "Different Seasons" and not "The Stand"?

[@NinaSoden]

The Stand was the name of the movie they made from the short story The Body.

[@Michiganvideoswithmyfriends.]

@@NinaSodenthe name of the Movie was Stand By Me

[@shaquishatheplug]

@@NinaSodenIts Stand by Me lol not the stand

I bet your library has the audiobook version read by Frank Muller. I know you have read it, but if you ever decide to reread it. I recommend listening to the audiobook while on a long trip.

[@thesodenteamrealtors1292]

Thank you for the recommendation. I will absolutely do that. :)

[@commenterman3122]

I read this in the end of my 5th grade year, and I loved it along with the movie!

[@NinaSoden]

I think this one would have been a bit to heavy for me in 5th grade, but I commend you for that. I didn't find my love of reading for a couple more years at that point. What is your favorite Stephen King novel? Who is your favorite author?

[@Countravendark]

I've got The Body in my copy of Four Seasons, cannot wait to read it!!

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

One of the best things King ever wrote. The Breathing Method is kind of a dud, in my opinion, but the other three novellas in Different Seasons are top notch. That was King at the height of his powers.

[@keysy126]

i just ordered it can’t wait to read 💙

[@NinaSoden]

I hope you'll stop back and let me know what you think when you're done.

Great review

[@NinaSoden]

Thank you. :)

[@coulthard1984]

Thanks for the review. I totally agree with you on the book and the movie ...they were both awesome. Also, my favorite books of King are books like this one, I dont like his paranormal/fantasy books that much

[@NinaSoden]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like the review.

[@jeremylabrecque4250]

Is the movie stand by me the same exact thing as the book the body by Stephen king

[@NinaSoden]

It’s not identical, but yes the movie is based on the story.

Once Again Awesome Review. If I'm Not Mistaken The Novela Came in a book called Different Seasons By Stephen King? I Was Wondering If You've Read All 4 Of the Novelas In That Book If I'm Not Mistaken The Shawshank Redemption Is Also in That Collection? Once Again Thank You For This Great Review

[@NinaSoden]

Thank you. :) I did read all the Novelas in Different Seasons, many years ago. I have since lost my copy. Which was why I was so excited to find this.

[@mikebizzle9293]

You saw it when it came out? I had to wait for vhs.

[@nicksgames4892]

i loved reading the book

[@NinaSoden]

So glad you enjoyed it too.

[@themasterofallmoviesprestwood.]

I got the book I’m having really hard time to finish it I’m more than a fan I need guidance

[@NinaSoden]

You're having a hard time finishing The Body? Are you just not liking it?

[@NinaSoden]

Watch the movie Stand By Me... then try to read it again with those characters in mind.

[@nicapoletti]

[@DG-mo5kr]

Hmm, new to Steven King’s books. I’m reading Different Seasons right now and over half way done with The Body. Why does King write so many “F” words thru out the book and stories? I don’t remember kids talking that trashy back then. Shawshank was ok. Apt Pupil was disturbing and dark. The Body I have not totally figured it out yet like others who have read it. Seems like a story for women and not so much for men who remember those days. I must be missing something.

[@NinaSoden]

There is a bit of language in most King stories, but I don't think he does it in excess of what makes sense for his characters. Just my opinion. As far as The Body goes, I think the story leans more toward a younger (teenage) male reader, but I loved it as a kid and as an adult.

[@tylerlowe8324]

I disagree, I think this novella is geared more towards men but I do not discount that women could have the same experience reading it. This short story brought back so many memories from my adolescence, and I can vividly remember the grand adventures we had, the urban myths, boys who struggled with the same issues as the ones in this story, and growing apart from those same friends as I got older. I honestly have not related more to a story than this one, and I find it to be a masterpiece.
