A review by nietlauramaarmaura
It by Stephen King
4.0
Classic and exciting, for sure.
This book was an easy read and I love these kind of in-depth character descriptions.
I've already seen the movie so I knew about the disappointing ending but it did not really bother me because it is such a classic. Imagining Tim Curry as Pennywise made this book super scary and therefore not at all boring. However, I absolutely HATED the part where Bev takes everyone virginity (I think) because it was so out of context and uncomfortable to read.
Also very interested to discuss the racial issues with this book; is it racist of Stephen King to use this kind of racial slang?
