Once again, the movies are better…if only because you don’t have to put up with King’s egregious sex scenes and over the top racism. Seriously, someone needs to investigate this man.

kiwifay's review against another edition

No amount of alcohol or coke can make this good. No amount of alcohol or coke can make me ignore the thousands of slurs.

I think I’ll take my copy camping and use it as fire starter.

Way. Too. Much. Detail. This book easily could have been written in 500 pages. The core story is good, but it was bogged down by just an insane amount of extraneous detail and side stories and information about the town itself. I couldn't really enjoy it. Also

12 year olds taking turns with Beverly

??? Yuck.

While this book has its flaws I enjoyed reading it. The characters are lovable and even the evil characters are well written. Pennywise the Clown deserves his place in classic horror monsters.

A bit overlong, and some of the content is questionable to say the least. Still one hell of a ride.
