First off this book was NOT SCARY!! Which was good for me but if that's what you're looking for go else where. The ending of this book was confusing and a little lack luster I would have gave the book a 2 based on the story itself and the ending. But it got a 3 because in the first 200 pages King had me laughing out loud. Just some of the lines and the descriptions were hilarious to me. I liked the friendship aspect of the book and how easy the story flowed even though it was being told from several different characters, it was still easy to follow. Bases of the book is about 4 teens who become friends with a mental challenged kid and have a special connection. As the boys get older they they go their separate ways and start their lives and lose touch with their friend that is slower and will continue to be childlike for always. They never forget him but they are thinking of him more and more while on a hunting trip that goes from normal to Alien. The story jumps back and forth between their teenage years and present day making the past a little more clearer as the present unravels.
The story kept me interested but the writing on this one seemed not quite fully baked. I'd say it was as if he didn't quite know how to fit certain things together but he didn't want to have to remove any of it. Still, no regrets about having read it.
Note about the audio - I liked the reader but the intro music has got to go. No shame on the musician, it just didn't belong there mixed with the narration. I wish audiobook publishers would stop doing that.

As usual Mr.King does not disappoint. It gives "IT" vibes...which is unsurprising since it is the same town, 4 kids introduced to a 5th and going back and forth between their childhood and adult lives. I couldn't out it down.
I know I remeber bits of the movie from long ago, but I kinda wished they would re-make it like they remade "IT".

This one kinda felt like a drag at times but it all came together eventually and was worth the read.
