The body is one of the stories in the book Different Seasons written by Stephen King. I only have read the first thirty pages or so of that book, and to be blunt, I do not like it so much. At least, I do not like yet.
The overall story of the first thirty pages is this. All of the main characters have backgrounds which are not that good. One boy, probably Teddy has a mad father. He put Teddy’s ear close to the stove for ten seconds each which made him nearly lose his hearings. Also, a boy called Chris had a father who was an alcoholic. One day, these guys hear that they might be able to find a dead body and makes a plan to search for it.
The story of the first thirty pages is roughly like the above. Actually, I dosed a lot while reading that part. I hope the rest of the story is more exciting just like Shawshank Redemption.
I hope you've since found some interest in the book. If we keep in mind the themes, and dig deep, we can examine an elaborate "character study" where King individually brings these boys to life as a group. It's definitely NOT as exciting as Shawshank, but we might say it's better written at times.
