Any Stephen King fans out there?

@PassingThrough You are better with his shorter novels, I mean 'IT is an enormous novel took me two three attempts to get through. Stuff like 'The Running Man' and 'Pet Sematary' were far shorter stories and to be honest I found them better where I was riveted to them.

I guess that's the thing though as I read the bulk of The Running Man in one night, so balance wise it was a bit too short but I still enjoyed it 'Pet Sematary' is one of his shorter novels though and I really enjoyed that one probably my favourite King novel, like you say some of them are verrry hard to get through.

@AdaXI yeah I know I tried a few times with both The Stand and IT but I had a hard time. Granted I was also an early teen so it was an issue of attention span. Needful Things I managed to get mostly through and found it better than the movie though.

@PassingThrough Haha very true, I was the same I tried reading 'IT' when I was about 15 the first time around and I just didn't have the attention span to read a novel that size, so it sat on a bookshelf for best part of 20 years but I eventually got there in my early 30s and went on to read a fair few of his other books.
I do still enjoy his shorter novels better though (for me personally) I just find his longer stuff is very padded out and they drag on a bit sometimes.

@AdaXI I could see that. I think that’s part of why some say his work isn’t easy to adapt for TV or movies. And probably why something like Stranger Things resonates. It has all that feel of one of his works but without the adapting for diehard fans
