It by Stephen King

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

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
