My god this is a bloody tome. If you haven’t read any other King books I would recommend doing so before you start this because it’s a bloody long book if you don’t like his writing style. I enjoyed it but it was a bit of a slog at times, but King used the words he needed to say what he wanted to say

An impeccable dive into fear, friendship, and childhood. Was in the running for my favorite King until That scene, which soured the rest of the book for me, even if I knew it was coming. I don’t entirely dislike how Bev’s character was written, but the constant sexualization was questionable to me, both as a child and as an adult.

movie spoiler?
I watched the movies just after, and I feel like they do an even worse job in their treatment of Bev, but making Richie gay adds a lot to his character that I felt lacked in the book. I would have to say Mike is my favorite overall.

This book was truly exceptional. It is so detailed, which makes it a challenging and long read, but it is so worth it. This story shows what true friendship and loyalty are. It is haunting and disturbing, yet wonderfully heartwarming.

This is one of my favorite Stephen King books to read, but it’s just a liiiittle too long and there’s a bit too much nipple imagery. It’s great if you want to get super invested in a different world, though, because at the end, you’ll know EVERYTHING there is to know. I’d say it’s 100% worth the read if you don’t mind it being a little slow. (It does have just about every big content warning a book can have, the bad guys aren’t just the one monster)
