A review by jadeevans
It by Stephen King
5.0
If you didn't know what this book is about, but in all honesty, who doesn't?, you wouldn't really think that the title suggested anything, but if you know, you know. What I liked about this book is that it is split into five parts, one part when the characters are children, one part when they are adults and everything in between. It switches back and forth between past and present, telling us what had happened to others in time.
This book is honestly one of the best books that I have ever read and being my first Stephen King book, it has made me excited to read a lot more of his work in the future.
If you don't know what this book is about, where have you been your entire life? Just in case there's an odd few people who don't know what it is about, it's about a terrifying shape shifting demon who terrorises children and hopes to eat them pretty much. The Loser Club battles Pennywise in hope to defeat him as children and they believe they've succeeded. WRONG. That's why this book is set in two different time periods.
From the Loser Club, my favourite character would have to be either Richie or Eddie. Richie always cracked a joke when times got hard and Eddie with his asthma and thinking his inhaler is a placebo (gazebo).
I absolutely loved this book but it's 1376 pages will never be read by me again, it's the longest book i've ever read!
I can't pick a favourite and least favourite part because there's too many parts to remember. I have no idea how King is able to keep track of what he writes because most of his books are so bloody long.
I don't think there's anything that I would change about this book off the top of my head but if I thought about it for a while, there might have been the odd thing that I might have wanted to alter.
I would highly, highly, highly recommend this book for older readers who actually have enough patience to endure a book so damn long. It didn't take me as long to read this book as I thought it would and everything was tied up and resolved at the end.
