A rather good novel from one of my favorite authors, The Body does have a couple odd parts where I feared I might not get into it, but I’m glad I stuck with it, because it turned out to be pretty good.
And then I even found out that it was the novel on which the successful movie Stand By Me was based, which I’ve now added to my Netflix queue and look forward to watch.
The novel tells the story of four friends who decide to go on a weekend trip to try to locate the supposed body of a kid who disappeared a few days earlier. Their adventures that weekend and the dynamics of their relationships shape the rest of the story.
The end result is quite enjoyable.
Grade: 7
