Giving It a Try (piefed.social)

I tried to read Stephen King several times across the years and I don’t know, it never worked. Tried his short stories, the different genres he wrote, … a bit of everything. It frustrated me a bit because I loved every single adaptation from his work in TV show or movie form.

As I started watching It:Welcome to Derry, I got an itch to give him another chance as I really wanted to get to finally know the whole story behind. And I don’t know what changed, perhaps I got older and my taste changed, but I’m speeding through It and I absolutely love it, I can’t let go of the book!

I’m just surprised how taste can evolve across time. Might give a chance to several authors I never liked when I was younger!

I know I have read a few books and they seem fine enough. Granted I was a pretty big reader back then and specifically a king fan. The books were just available and I wanted something to read. Did not have complaints like I did with chriton.

What did you dislike about Chriton’s books? I have not read them, but love the visual expressions of the stories.
