Helpful Score: 3
I dont read horror, or graphic violent books, but I have read a few of Stephen King's earlier novels: Carrie, The Stand, The Green Mile, and Pet Sementary. I am not a devoted King fan. I thought he kinda became a formula horror writer. I won this book in a the WLVB in a contest here on PBS. (Thanks Richard) That is the only reason it came into my hands.
I offered this book in another swap game, and it seemed a shame to not read it before I mailed it off. I read many other posts that said despite its 850 pages, it was a fast read: 200 pages a day fast read. I tested that theory and found I read it in 3 days. So dont let the length scare you off.
I am a big fan of time travel, and butterfly effect books, and movies, so this was right up my alley. I love our main character,Jake/George. Even thought I was a not a big King fan, I caught the connection between the clown in IT and the town of Derry, Maine that our character soon finds himself in.
This book doesnt try answer some of they WHYS of time time travel, so that makes it easier to read. Some readers hated the love story. I found it to be the best part. Because when you think about it, this is a love story. Love your country, love your friend, love a woman, even love yourself. Too many choices...if you can have only one.
I loved the book. I think you will too.
