This could've been half the length and it would've been way better. There's SO MUCH extra/excess information and background. Also major trigger warnings.

This book should have been a lot shorter. There were parts I really liked and parts I really disliked.

audiobook with stephen weber is FANTASTIC, absolutely hard to get through some parts content wise, i was spoiled going in and still cringed at all that stephen king had to say

the tom shit in its entirety and the INTENSE sex scene with the kids at the end

and

the spiritual alien eternal pain in my ass twist with finding out what pennywise IS, and it is a she and SHES PREGNANT, and sorry a turtle made the universe and gave bill a pep talk to kill a clown like what was that

. absolutely gripping
