    The Waste Lands. I just cannot get into IT. I've been planning a reread for awhile now, but I can't bring myself to do it.

    Honestly, just because of the sheer size of IT, I would choose The Waste Lands even if it wasn't one of my favotire King books.

    (Of course, I would read The Stand again over The Waste Lands every day so I guess size really doesn't matter.)

    The Waste Lands. I had so much trouble getting into IT, I had to virtually force myself to read it.

    It. If compared to the Dark Tower as a whole, it falls short. But when compared with TWL alone, It is better. By a very negligible amount.

    Hail Discordia.

    My opinion is precisely the opposite.
