The reputation of this book flatters the actually quality of it. Super cool concept and world building of the town Derry. Was absorbed in the first 1/3 of the book but it dragged on big time. Could have cut at least 300 pages out give it more of an impact. Theres no way these kids are 11 years old and the infamous drain scene is beyond disgusting and the most vile material I have ever read in a novel that serves no purpose to the story at all. How “IT” was resolved was dull and anti-climactic. That being said, I enjoyed the originality of the story and the characters.
Wanted to love this so much more than I did, but doesn’t deserve the high acclaim it receives.
Final Rating: 3.0
