I can't think of another writer who can use so many pages and so much description to say so very little.
Not that I'm comparing authors as I've never read IT, but you should give James Clavell's Asian Saga a go. Especially the first one, Shogun. The dude would describe every last detail of a meal the characters were about to eat.
(great book though)

Sounds like GRRM.
I'm just losing focus when King uses two pages/3-4 paragraphs to basically say, "the house is at the end of the street".
Descriptive flow is essential, but it just appears overly congested at times.
I need to just fight my way through it. I'm excited for the story and I'm just complaining about the prologue basically.
