Oddly enough, I put that BS down far before the halfway point back in the day, and never picked it up again.

Thankfully, the only knowledge I have of this King-style WTF Deluxe?

Vicariously. Phew. 😬

    It's not a terrible book. The stories and descriptions about Derry through time are really well written and fun world building in my opinion.

    I just think the book was a bit too long and also had a couple of elements that were too silly.

    I haven't read every king book ever, but currently, I think Misery is his best book. While he likes to have big casts and writing about communities, he's absolutely at his best when he is stuck with two interesting characters who play off one another in a battle of wills.

    But yeah, IT is far from a bad book, but in my opinion a bit overrated in popculture.
