I’ve read “It” a few times now. Last time, a few years back, I had rated it as a 3 star read. At that time I think I wasn’t in a proper mode to read this book. It is long, and there is a great deal of character description. I think at that time I just wanted it to be done.
This time I was certainly aware of what the book entailed, and instead of rushing through I just took the time to enjoy all of the side stories. I really liked it a whole lot more.
It does get a bit strange at times, especially near the end, cosmically and inter dimensionally strange. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind a long book with a lot of side stories about the characters. If you prefer a quick read it’s not for you. Also, be prepared for a little bit of weirdness.
