    I feel like the only person who absolutely hated IT and found it a complete slog to get through. It has all of King’s worst habits of over-characterisation and needless waffle. Combine that with some very weird story elements that were introduced near the end of the book more as shock value than any meaningful addition to the plot, and it’s just over 1,000 pages of tedium.

      You mean you didn’t find the pre teen orgy in the sewer to be a worthy plot point?

      I’m with you, it was tedious to get through.

      No, see, they had to run a train on that girl because if they didnt the monster would get them or something. Had to be done.
