I don't think so.

Only in that I don't know what sections I would leave out. I love the interludes. I love that Derry has a history and feels like it's alive. The relationships between the losers and other people in town feel super important.

I also think part of the reason people hold it in such high regard is the feeling of accomplishment of finishing such a long novel.

King gets a lot of flack for his novels being to long and needing editing, but as someone that prefers long novels it's never bothered me.
