A review by littleneptune
It by Stephen King

challenging dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

This book is iconic for me. I read it twice in french and once in english. A great tale of growing up in a messed up world, surrounded by adults that don’t care. King does a great job of showing the immense space between kids and adults.

There are a few trigger warnings for this book. It deals with heavy subjects and sometimes it feels a bit insensitive to some issues.
