This book is actually immensely sad and I need to lie down for a while. It also could have been shorter and less racist and antisemitic. But it was immensely compelling - there was absolutely no point where I considered putting it down.
I had a really excellent time comparing the overlap of Dark Tower and IT, thinking about all the Easter eggs and crossovers that I've already read about or seen in King books and adaptations. My favorite part of this experience was honestly slotting in a new piece of the SK puzzle.

Once again, the movies are better…if only because you don’t have to put up with King’s egregious sex scenes and over the top racism. Seriously, someone needs to investigate this man.

No amount of alcohol or coke can make this good. No amount of alcohol or coke can make me ignore the thousands of slurs.

I think I’ll take my copy camping and use it as fire starter.

Way. Too. Much. Detail. This book easily could have been written in 500 pages. The core story is good, but it was bogged down by just an insane amount of extraneous detail and side stories and information about the town itself. I couldn't really enjoy it. Also
12 year olds taking turns with Beverly
??? Yuck.
