Like the other 3 novels in Stephen King's short story collection "Different Seasons," this story was well done. That said, I couldn't finish it because it was too dark. I gave it one star because that is for "didn't like it." I really just didn't want to read another word about a messed up kid, a Nazi as an old man, and especially the terrible things they were doing. It was just too dark for me, so I put it down. I did enjoy the story, but I just couldn't keep reading it due to subject matter.This was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (and insane)! Stephen King at his best!*Apt Pupil is the story of Todd Bowden, a brilliant kid that somehow finds out that a Nazi war criminal, Kurt Dussander, lives nearby. But instead of turning him out, Todd decides to feed his own psychopathic tendencies and so he learns from Dussander.*As I said, this is Stephen King at his best, creating two amazing, memorable characters. Maybe you wont relate to Todd, but you will sure as hell find him an
I didn't expect this book to be as good, as dark, or as thrilling as it was. The synopsis betrayed hardly anything about the book or what the plot was.

I thought that this book was okay
I wanted a Stephen King book that wasn't very popular or long and this was it. Super creepy and entertaining. King messed with my mind as per usual. Lol
Apt Pupil: First half, incredible. Second half, um...The first half of Apt Pupil was creepily and absolutely compelling. King has a way of presenting the twisted and horrific in a way that urges a reader to keep reading, keep reading, keep reading--like watching a mangled body being extracted from a smashed car. You can't look away no matter how grotesque it is.Sadly, also in true King form, somewhere in the middle of the book, the story took a turn, and the soft porn and profanity that King is
Absolutely gripping tale of a young pupil discovering an old Nazi he wants to learn from. You can't put down this novella!
