His books can show violent characters or behaviours, but you never see blood, splatter or that kind of thing. Edward Lee, Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum'm books are gory indeed. Those of Stephen King remind me sometimes of a darker Ray Bradbury, with a real sense of wonder, and a wonderful ability to depict the inner world of childhood.

Yes, I have the date marked :-) Love your review and wishing the next three weeks would fly by!!! lol <br /><br />I've read most of what he's written, and I've always thought that despite his going for gore in his horror than the chill, most of what he writes is good storytelling. I'm so looking forward to reading this one.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-35039696994965286142012-06-11T08:00:52.310-06:002012-06-11T08:00:52.310-06:00I read IT last year, and the book convinced me tha...I read IT last year, and the book convinced me that King is a brilliant storyteller.

Have a sample of 11/22/63 downloaded on my nook and really enjoyed the beginning - just know I'll have to read the whole thing eventually.

I agree too about the pacing in this one. King doesn't always get that right (his endings sometimes pile on too much), but he nails it in this book.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896331683344872038noreply@blogger.com
