Came for Pennywise, stayed for The Losers Club. A heartfelt tale about childhood friends and togetherness. Slow paced but always moving forward. Each character feels real (Beverly and Stan less so) and fun to read about. I didn’t care for depictions of Beverly, and I don’t really believe the sewer scene was necessary.
