Really slow book, very hard to pay attention to so took months to finish reading. Definitely could have missed out some of the chapters, didn't really add to the plot at all.

I enjoyed everything except the end. The part where all the boys have sex with Bev I really did NOT like and did NOT need to read. Nor did I enjoy the part where Patrick jerks Henry off. These sexual acts involving 11 and 12 year olds were unnecessary. The suspense was good, as was the world building.

King uses his horror sci-fi genre to write a beautiful coming of age story about a group of kids who learn to overcome real life monsters, and the monsters in their minds, through friendship and love. The world can be good - even when you're facing an evil monster in the sewers.

"He thinks that it is good to be a child, but it is also good to be a grown up and able to consider the mystery of childhood... its beliefs and desires." "Childhood has its own sweet secrets and confirms mortality, and that mortality defines all courage and love. To think that what was looked forward, must also look back. That each life makes its own imitation of immortality, a wheel." - It by Stephen King

This book took me so long to read because it was very tough at the beginning. But it is well writte , I like Kings writing skills a lot. In the end of the book I hated the sexual scene when they were kids but the end after all was pretty cool. I had a lot of fun with it~

Once again, the movies are better…if only because you don’t have to put up with King’s egregious sex scenes and over the top racism. Seriously, someone needs to investigate this man.
