Great story, but the writing was exceedingly dull, apart from the first chapter. I even tried getting through it via audiobook and still only made it halfway through. It’s just a chore.
No, King writes well. It’s very much from the heart and you can relate to the emotions he lays down effortlessly on every page. I think his strength is creating mysteries, and his weakness is over-explaining said mysteries.
Stephen King’s It

I don’t get Stephen King. I’ve never read a thing by him that I thought warranted the accolades.
I like some of the films based on his books, but those are all punched up quite a bit.

I enjoyed it…until the insanely problematic ending.
