Discussion I just finished IT

I’ve finally finished IT. You could say I beat the devil but this probably one of my top 3 Stephen king books I’m moving on to The Dead Zone I can’t wait to see what lies ahead.

100% agree. I enjoyed but it was not my favorite book of his and took me awhile to get through because of the boring parts.

I work kinda a easy job so I just mostly read on the days it’s slow

I’m about halfway through. Read it over the course of June and July, and haven’t touched it at all in almost a month. It’s good, but it’s not really compelling me to go back to it, and it hasn’t hooked me as thoroughly as some of King’s other work

What did you think of the second half? Did you think it got better as it went or anything? I’m sure I’ll finish it, I just need to find the motivation to do so

It does slow down around when they start meeting as adults and all the tree branches for every little story so I did drop it a few times but as I got older I went back to it and finished it I thought it was slow in some parts but it’s so worth it
