Stephen King is a hit-or-miss author for me. I enjoyed The Shining (but still haven't worked up the gumption to watch the movie), but It fell flat.

Just like The Shining, the story builds and there is a sense of menace, growing growing in the background. While the menace grows, it sort of sneaks into your head. As King is good at, ...more
