So it only took me forever, but not because the book was bad (obviously). I'm just a slacker.

I don't know what to say about it other than it is another gem from the master, Stephen King. It was well written and had the right amount of creepiness, horror and humor.

There are some triggering scenes with animal abuse that were discomforting to me.

And am I the only one who felt bad for It in the end? I think it was the mom in me feeling a little softhearted as It begged for it's life and for the life of it's progeny. But, of course, I know It couldn't be left to survive, nor could it's young. But for a brief moment, I felt It's pain; the need to save itself and it's children.

All in all, it was quite the roller-coaster ride.
