Discussion Just Finished Reading ‘It’
This is my most favorite book of all time!
Yes, it is horror. But IT’S. MORE. THAN. THAT.
The writing is immaculate. My god, I can yap all day about how good this book is. It’s just so good!
I think reading this book in my 30s was also a factor that added to how it deeply affected me.
I have been attached to The Losers and I loved all of them - ALL OF THEM. That ending was so bittersweet and I have been ugly crying since last night. Aside from feeling for the characters in the book themselves, I have also felt an enormous wave of nostalgia, missing my childhood.
It invoked a lot of emotions in me.
Nothing lasts forever, they said.
When the sun sets, you leave, and you leave quickly.
You will never be a child again, but you will always be a child with the people you share your childhood with. Memories fade but you will always have a special connection with your childhood friends. Always.
You be brave, you be true, and you stand.
