3 months agoFunny you mention him because I was looking up his books yesterday.
I’m looking at maybe getting an e-reader soon and they’re ideal for reading the classics because they’re so cheap. I looked up a collection of four Jules Verne books and they were £20 on paperback, but only 49p digitally.
I feel like the only person who absolutely hated IT and found it a complete slog to get through. It has all of King’s worst habits of over-characterisation and needless waffle. Combine that with some very weird story elements that were introduced near the end of the book more as shock value than any meaningful addition to the plot, and it’s just over 1,000 pages of tedium.
