Wow, what a lack of patience. The book's a doorstopper, coming in at around a thousand pages, and you're bored less than a tenth of the way through? Different strokes for different folks and all-- I was engaged from the very beginning, but then, a hundred pages for me is less than an hour's worth of reading-- but expecting a book that large to be immediately engaging for everyone who picks it up is asking a bit much.

Yeah, you kinda need to keep going. It's a long, epic book that has two time periods, a huge cast, large swaths of Derry history, and which builds up toward a dual-timelined double climax.

Not, OP, but was the vitriol necessary? I like big books too, and all, but sheesh.

Could be the novel's not OP's cup of tea. It's not about how long it would take you to read a hundred pages, it's how much you enjoy yourself while reading them. If it I'm on page 300 and I don't feel like the action is picking up, I'd go read another book.

Tbh, I haven't managed to read through the whole novel myself--but it was an issue of suspension of disbelief (I couldn't do it) rather than it's length.
