Many people probably know my stance on IT by now, I bleet on about it enough. IT is my favourite book by a mile. He builds characters in IT (and his other long books) so wonderfully that it becomes impossible not to become attatched to them, to hate Eddie's Mom but at the same time, feel for her, and kind of understand her warped logic. I even disliked (young) Bill a bit because I felt bad for Ben when knows he can't win Bev's feelings because of Bill.
I have read it twice and even though I still have many books to read - about 36 (which includes some major titles like Under the Dome, Salems Lot, Talisman), and that's not counting the short story collections I have been picking through - I will no doubt read IT again before I get through the others, the urge to reread it is always there.
My favourite parts are the backstories (Blackspot, Bradley gang etc), and the losers just hanging out, enjoying the summer and a bit of peace in the barrens.
