RE: Book Review & Top Quotes: It by Stephen King
LMAO! Hell of a comment and quite the endorsement, @terry93d - I'm literally still laughing at "reasonably intelligent". Thank you....I think? You did say you'll be looking out for my next review, so definitely thank you actually.
And perhaps you see the parallels between my own wordy nature and the ramblings of big Steve. (Not that I am even a fraction of the literary magician's talent.) I think his long passages and slow (but steady) development of the characters and stories speak to me. Alas, to each their own! Though I would recommend you steer clear of my other favorite, David Foster Wallace - that guy made King look like a man of few words!
Thanks again for the support, @terry93d!
I've already put Infinite Jest on hold - it's too late now!
I will give Stephen King this - he has an utterly unique talent at creating absolutely horrifying people - Hockstetter, Bowers? honestly some of the worst characters I've ever seen, not in the sense of poorly written but in the sense of "we hate these people".
Lol, perfectly said @terry93d! He certainly makes us hate those antagonists in his stories - gives them depth that oozes evil!
