It

I loved this book. I read it in preparation for the second of the big budget adaptation, and I was pretty blown away but how much I did like it. The format (constantly switching between the past and present in a way that is evocative of the Netflix Haunting of Hill House show, something I suspect they took from this book), the feeling and themes, the writing, Pennywise, the mythology, all of it clicked really well for me. Despite being over 1100 pages, it doesn't FEEL like that. It's paced extraordinarily well for what it is.

One small thing I didn't like was the infamous chapter involving the kids near the end. It's weird! It kind of sucks! It's honestly pretty out of place! Other than that, I adored this novel and can't wait to read more Stephen King in the coming months.
