The horror was well written, the characters were fun to read, and I love the ambitious story, but there is a lot of stuff here that felt unnecessary and went to far. I would recommend this book to anyone.amandas_bookshelf's review against another edition

I’d rate higher if not for the disturbing treatment of the female protagonist in the group. I think King could have achieved his thematic point without having all the boys lose their virginity gang banging her. Yes, the kids battle an evil and are thrust into adulthood. We get it without taking this unnecesary, pervie step. Just because it’s horror, doesn’t make it okay.
