Ich habe das früher schon mal gelesen und vergessen wie ausschweifend das Buch ist, aber finde es ganz gut.
This is the third or fourth time I’ve read this novel over the years, so clearly I like it. I read this very slowly over the course of a year, and I think the pace of my reading got me bogged down in several sections, but I still enjoyed It.
This and The Stand are quintessential King novels, must reads for horror fans.
An okay book, which definitely shows King's leanings on politics & society -- which is funny when you consider some of the casual sexism throughout the plot. Most importantly, did we really need a prepubescent sewer orgy scene?
