I'm not sure if I should give this a four-star rating or a three-star rating. I really liked the feeling of terror I got when I read about IT...IT who isn't really a clown. IT who is the creator of a fear. IT who is so much terrifying than a simple CLOWN. I loved the change from time periods, but it did feel like something was lost when it got to the part about the Losers when they grew up. I know it was most likely intentional. But it sucked. There were a few things that really disturbed me, and pissed me off. But no spoilers. I can't believe I finished this book honestly. But, to be perfectly honest I don't think I'll ever read it again.
