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

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.
