It

a Novel
Oct 29, 2017brobertb rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Overall a good novel and worth the time it took to read. Start reading as soon as you get home as you'll need every day available on your checkout time to finish it. A little too long for me with too many names to remember. I feel King could've still gotten his intended points across while leaving some parts out to shorten it a little. However, all of his novels are long, so the length didn't surprise me and didn't stop me from reading until I had it finished. It Includes seven main characters, each one being part of the novel with what happens to them as a child that brings them all together as friends and what happens as an adult that brings them all back together. The novel then jumps back and forth through time from one character to the next, back to the first, etc. bringing in a long list of minor character names along the way so, if you're not the best with keeping names straight, I suggest writing them down with a quick note of their parts to the story as a child and as an adult. Otherwise you'll be like me and find yourself flipping back to previous pages over and over to remind yourself of who each character is! Per other comments, I wanted to read it first before going to watch the older and newer film versions.
