1stt King book for me ever-I've avoided him bc I thought he was only horror. Started listening to this audiobook. Seems like a new chapter every 2 min, & it’s very choppy. It’s not the abridged version, so that’s not it. It's also starting off like a very simple YA novel, certainly not what I expected. Granted, I'm only 3 "chapters" in. Does it get better? It's got 4 *’s here, so most of you think so...

But, I just wanted to say that if you are put off by "horror" stories, King is not your typical horror story writer. His books can be charming coming of age, books, like The Body, where it's really all about the kids relating to each other (think the TV Series, Stranger Things). Or, really great character driven stories, like The Green Mile. The horror side of things is just the vehicle for some great storytelling.

Now, if you are afraid of clowns, do stay away from It!(less)
