This is overall an enjoyable book. It’s SO long, it took me WEEKS to get through. The story itself moves along quite well, as each chapter is broken down into sections, and each section contains really interesting plot development - whether this is instances of IT’s violence, or character development, atmosphere building, or something else.

My greatest compliment: depth. Everything has multiple meanings and significance. Every detail feels important.
I just wish that the book wasn’t so long and drawn out, because by the end I was just trying to get it done and over with (despite generally having a good time with the horror elements and plot).

But I can’t do a review without saying one thing: King deserves jail time for that ONE SCENE in the sewers. I will not speak of it because my brain refuses to revisit it. But honestly? Jail time.
