For most, this 1100 paged epic novel would intimidate people, but this book is all-around amazing. It is absolutely terrifying; it gave me nightmares for weeks. It took a while to finish, but even today, Pennywise the Dancing Clown still haunts my dreams. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because of the lazy ending. Every aspect of the book was amazing: the character development, the insightful flashbacks, the plot and storyline, just everything (except the very end). This is a must read Stephen King novel.
