It's a great revenge comeuppance story. I'd suggest the audio version by Bill Homewood.What is the big deal with this book?
Man.....I thought I was never gonna make it up out of this sewer.....I was about to start thrusting MY first against the damn posts
. You can definitely tell that King was on that shyt when churning out this one. It's massive, messy, brilliant & chaotic all in one.
When it hits, it hits. The childhood sections really do a lot of the heavy lifting. All of the childhood trauma, the fear, the friendships, evil behavior being manipulated by It; all exceptionally done.
Even the cosmic stuff & the lore/backstory rally pulls you in.
But Dear God did this need to be trimmed/edited by at least 200-300 pages. I felt like I was stuck on the Deadlights my damn self near the end
There was a lot of unnerving stuff in the beginning that tapers off the deeper you get into the novel, and I think half of that is the point and half of it is bro just doing too much.
Overall, it was entirely too long, too wild, and yet somehow still worth the journey.
