A review by ashhes
It by Stephen King

3.0

3.5 let me start with saying I enjoyed this book SO much. I could have read 500 more pages. Personally I love the attention given to minor characters and the town itself. I have a weakness for stories about friendship and this is 1k pages of that. If you have the time to read this I very much recommend it. Despite this I can't give it 5 stars. I had to skip over most of the orgy scene. I'm used to reading uncomfortable things but considering it was about children it was WAY too detailed and honestly out of nowhere. I don't think the scene should have been there at all but it was made way worse by the amount of detail and how long it was. Another issue I had was the amount the n word was used. I know it was supposed to show how horrible certain characters were (and it worked) but it was used like 50+ times which was very uncomfortable to read and totally unnecessary. I've always kind of had a love hate relationship with Stephen King because I do enjoy reading his work but geez some of the stuff he writes is too much for me. Overall if you can handle it, then it's worth the read.
