This book should have been a lot shorter. There were parts I really liked and parts I really disliked.

I really enjoyed this  though I did not feel comfortable about that one scene. However, I do understand the context of that scene. I adored the loser club  but, I enjoyed the childhood scenes more. Though I thought  it was way too long and dragged at times.

audiobook with stephen weber is FANTASTIC, absolutely hard to get through some parts content wise, i was spoiled going in and still cringed at all that stephen king had to say

the tom shit in its entirety and the INTENSE sex scene with the kids at the end

and

the spiritual alien eternal pain in my ass twist with finding out what pennywise IS, and it is a she and SHES PREGNANT, and sorry a turtle made the universe and gave bill a pep talk to kill a clown like what was that

. absolutely gripping
