Did anyone else notice that at one point in the book they refer to Beverly's stepfather but later on they make mention of the auburn hair that Al Marsh passed onto Beverly?

Perhaps you are thinking of Eddie? Eddie had a stepfather - I wish I could check but I am not at my home at the moment so no copy of It nearby.Did anyone else notice that at one point in the book they refer to Beverly's stepfather but later on they make mention of the auburn hair that Al Marsh passed onto Beverly?

WHOA! I just had to go look. I never noticed it, either! I'm betting it's a mistake. And yeah, Eddie Kaspbrak didn't have a stepfather.I've read the book 15 times at least and this was the first time I noticed it. lol
"as Beverly Marsh’s stepfather—a gent who bore, in temperament at least, a remarkable resemblance to Eddie and Dorsey Corcoran’s stepfather"
Stephen King -IT- page 256
Well now I'm intrigued - what is the rest of the sentence? You have just put a fragment of a sentence there - how does the sentence begin?I've read the book 15 times at least and this was the first time I noticed it. lol

Eddie Corcoran, not Kaspbrak - I got that off Google by the way, not from the actual book - I have only read the book once.WHOA! I just had to go look. I never noticed it, either! I'm betting it's a mistake. And yeah, Eddie Kaspbrak didn't have a stepfather.
Yes - I was in the hotel when I wrote that earlier - it was probably from Wikipedia - I don't remember using a last name, however.I could find no reference to Eddie Kaspbrak's stepfather. Perhaps you are confusing him with Eddie Corcoran, one of It's victims.
Wait, what? Eddie Kaspbrak had a stepfather? I thought it was just him and his mom? I feel like I’m being tested today.
You're right - see the link:richard macklin was dorsey's and eddie's stepfather.
Neese, I've read that book so many times that I can practically recite a lot of the paragraphs word for word, and I never saw that until it was pointed out. It is right there on pg 256 (in the original hardcover edition--I checked both my copies and my daughter's copy--lol). I'm positive it's a mistake, but it doesn't change my enjoyment of the story Nobody's perfect.Yes - the test is on Tuesday but it's multiple choice, so don't sweat it!
You're right - see the link:
Richard P. Macklin - Stephen King Wiki - Wikia
Still haven't figured out where it says Beverley had a stepfather. If it is in there and it is indeed a mistake - oh well, nobody's perfect right? I try not to get all wrapped around the axle about little details like this.
Of course, I would think after the 15th read you probably could not help but notice a mistake!

Is this the paperback or hard cover book? (just so I know which page 256 you are referring to)
