LOL! The last few posts have been a very amusing read!
King is long winded and descriptive beyond what is needed and it drives me crazy sometimes. I unashamedly admit to just scanning a paragraph or two when it's obvious he's going to spend 590 words describing a shoe, or the type of glue someone used to seal their asshole shut. That said, what remains after that is simply exceptional. I can handle the babbling on, because the rest pays off so well.
I'm halfway through the hard cover and I just picked up the audio book, which I'm planning to listen to about a week after I finish the novel.
My thoughts on this re-read...
I'm happily recalling how much I loved The Losers Club when I first read this book years ago. As these vulnerable, sweet and lonely kids all band together I feel more and more dread at the Evil they are coming up against, and will continue to encounter. I hate seeing them in peril but I celebrate every one of their victories.
