I tried to read Stephen King several times across the years and I don’t know, it never worked. Tried his short stories, the different genres he wrote, … a bit of everything. It frustrated me a bit because I loved every single adaptation from his work in TV show or movie form.

As I started watching It:Welcome to Derry, I got an itch to give him another chance as I really wanted to get to finally know the whole story behind. And I don’t know what changed, perhaps I got older and my taste changed, but I’m speeding through It and I absolutely love it, I can’t let go of the book!

I’m just surprised how taste can evolve across time. Might give a chance to several authors I never liked when I was younger!

    Loved the show, made me unexpectedly cry during the last two episodes, looking forward for more! Also liked Castle Rock when it aired and I’m really curious about Flanagan is going to do for the Dark Tower

    • That is true,

      ‘The Dark Tower’ book I really enjoyed, just short my love for the ‘It’ book love. With that being said the Capitalist corporate overlords cuting out the diversity of the story from the movie forced to I will never watch the movie & let that Capitalism’s Racist & Disabling version Capitalist wash over the original story’s diversity of characters! I really liked who they got playing the main characters, switching the gunslinger to Black did not bother me.
