for example when he got a b/ner when beverly’s ankle bracelet glistened in the sun? they’re eleven for god’s sakeSpoiler
mike and richie were all right though and eddie carried this book. he was the only genuinely good character and his humor was hilarious. i loved his character development, especially when he stood up to his mom. the turtle thing in the book seemed really cool at first, but in the end it was a major disappointment. the end fights with IT were confusing to read too, especially with the flashbacks thrown in but yeah. i‘m not even gonna talk about the sewer scene cause that was the most disgusting thing i ever read. the whole book wasn‘t written very well either. i‘m sorry for my harsh words, but i didn‘t enjoy this book at all and i wouldn‘t recommend it. in the end this is only my opinion though.Graphic: Bullying, Antisemitism, Body shaming, Fatphobia, Gore, Homophobia, Racial slurs, Suicide, Gun violence, Pedophilia, and Racism

All I'm going to say is this. There is a scene containing someSpoiler
sexual content between the Losers clubSpoiler
and it does not need to be there nor is it relevant to the story. It took me out of the story and as a result it definitely didn't need to be there and came out of left field. As a result it lowered my rating by 1 star. I would recommend anyone take a look at the content warnings before reading.livya's review against another edition
