It. Movie Tie-In
Ratings1
Average rating5
Derry, Maine is just an ordinary town : familiar, well- ordered for the most part, a good place to live. It is a group of children who see - and feel - what makes Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurks, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT appears as an evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reaches up, seizing, tearing, killing... Time passes and the children grow up, move away and forget. Until they are called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories, emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

and here's the thing... this book has a lot of amazing things and i absolutely loved reading these characters' childhood and their fears and relationships with each other and the world, but there were a lot of unnecessary parts. this book made me feel very uncomfortable a lot of times and after a while i really got tired of all the discrimination it has.. i mean it discriminates black people, the lgbt+ community, jews, asians and those are the ones i remember.. stephen king probably wrote mike as a black character just to be able to write all those insults and say the n word how many times he wanted. it was way too much. and then didn't focus enough on the story telling itself, and even though i loved some parts of the book, there were a lot that i couldn't despise more. so i'm pretty sure this is a an exact 50%, very balanced out... would love to reread certain parts, but i don't think i could ever read it in its entirety again...
