Oh no! I tried to read “It” by Stephen King but i hate some parts of the book and i endend up abandoning. The caracteres are incredible, right? But I think this isn´t enought to compensate the all problems that book have.
The essence of history is the caracteres, when they are young, and when are adult. But the “IT” proper, in my opinion, pops up less times and this ruined the book for me. I can´t feel scared with the scenes, and I think that´s happens because the story of caracters is dragged, and sometimes, boring.
And you, like the book of Stephen king?
(Sorry, my english is not good at all, but I´m trying to learn :) )
I bought IT when it was first published. IT took me a while to get sucked into. The biggest problem I had with it was the constant back and forth of the main characters when they were children and in the present time. It became quite distracting. I would’ve preferred the story flowing from the time they were children to the present.
You’re absolutely right with his character building.
