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

Cycling between chilling and terrifying, this book leaves the reader feeling relieved once it's over. Though King is a master of drawing the perfect picture through words and immersing the reader in his horror, a trope of sexual assault and fat phobia is prevalent in this story.

While this book has its flaws I enjoyed reading it. The characters are lovable and even the evil characters are well written. Pennywise the Clown deserves his place in classic horror monsters.

A bit overlong, and some of the content is questionable to say the least. Still one hell of a ride.
