If I could pick apart the central plot of this book from its infuriatingly problematic elements, it would be a 5. But I can’t, and It is spoiled by too much that is irredeemable. Take a look at some of the content warnings to see what I mean. I’m the first person to go to bat for King, but this isn’t a case of challenging writing that’s simply hard to read. The author just got this one really wrong. A lot.

While this book has its flaws I enjoyed reading it. The characters are lovable and even the evil characters are well written. Pennywise the Clown deserves his place in classic horror monsters.

A bit overlong, and some of the content is questionable to say the least. Still one hell of a ride.

This book is extremely long! So I def recommend getting the audiobook!

Stephen King's It is a classic horror novel that explores the themes of trauma, friendship, and the power of fear. The story follows a group of childhood friends who reunite as adults to confront the evil entity that terrorized them as children. The characters are well-developed and the writing is both suspenseful and atmospheric. The novel is a masterclass in horror and the way that King builds tension and creates a sense of dread is unparalleled. The book is also a commentary on the power of trauma and how it can shape our lives. It's a haunting and thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you finish it. I highly recommend It to anyone looking for a classic horror novel that is both terrifying and deeply moving.
