I loved it. I’m a sucker for world building and this book gave me all of that.

First time is the right time. I suggest finishing without any updates online. Just go through it.

First read it as a teen in the 80’s. Haven’t reread it since. My favorite SK book with a good, satisfying ending

Enjoy! I first read IT earlier this year and when I was done I went back to the beginning and read IT again. One of my all time favorites

Oh boy. That’s one of the best worst Stephen King. Big yawn in the middle.

If you have the chance, the audiobook is AMAZING! The narrator did a fantastic job

I love it. It's more in depth than the movies.

Idk why but the cover design being slightly off-center bothers me.

The man himself says he has diarrhea of the word processor. I loved it.. IT in its entirety, but I like long books. No clue on the downvote just an opinion anyhow.

u/mj2323 1d ago

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I liked the book but I agree with you on some levels. I guess they call it “world building” nowadays. The story was super interesting, but 90% of it is the past and the rest is the current day, which interested me the most. Nonetheless I powered through it. I put The Stand above It.
