My two complaints:
This man knows NOTHINGGG about being born in the year 2000. This book was mostly taking place in like 2012 without a single acknowledgement of either red skinny jeans or the classic song party rock anthem by LMFAO. this protagonist was supposed to be i think four months younger than me and i get that he was quirky and different and not like the other boys but i still think stephen shouldve hired me as a cultural history consultant.
My second complaint is that the Maury shit at the end came out of NOWHEREEEE!!!!! I was perfectly happy with this fatherless young man and his gayass mom and then in the last fuckin twenty pages Stephen had to go completely apeshit. IYKYK i guess but frankly i want to go back in time and unread the last little bit of the book because i dont CARE and it was WEIRD!!!!
Oh also this is a spoiler but it was weird that the one guy mentioned that the gayass mom had cancer and six months to live and then that was never addressed again and the mom lived at LEAST multiple more years. But i guess that guy who said it was also a demon and maybe also the same flavor of demon as my best friend pennywise since this book was apparently maybe also in the same universe as the clown books so i guess maybe he told a lie? Who knows but that confused me. I wish that he hadnt used the term “deadlights” and all the ritual of chud stuff because everything else about this book made fine sense to me as a stand alone novel but then it had to be recontextualized any time that shit came up. Anyway im going to bed

La trama me gustó porque cuando empezaba a pensar que la historia iba por un lado me daba cuenta que se iba por el otro, en parte es debido a que no tenía planeado leer este libro, por tanto no leí sinopsis ni nada. No es que sea una historia particularmente innovadora, pero por lo menos sabe mantenerte enganchado.
Su final... es un gran wtf. No digo que sea bueno o malo, la verdad no me importa qué es lo que pasa en el, simplemente pienso que no aporta nada. Supongo que como el libro tiene un poco de coming-of-age entre medio del horror, se puede ver como el cierre del ciclo de la niñez del Jamie, pero incluso si es así, pudo ser mejor.

The last reveal may upset some but I don’t think it should ruin the book for most.allweseeorseem's review
