when I read the sex scene, it destroyed my image of Beverly to be honest lol.

@titteringfiend1 Yeah, same here. I felt she was then . . . tainted. lol.

I read this novel about a week ago and I had a similar reaction to the fact that It took the shape of a spider. I thought that It's shape would be more fantastical. Sure, spiders are creepy but I predicted that It would be some sort of reptilian beast. Also the use of psychic energy to destroy It was underwhelming and the Dead Lights were confusing. I loved the characters, especially them as children. I grew to love Eddie, since my mother is also overbearing. Overall it was a great novel.

@AGuy1719 I think I forgot to mention the Dead Lights. No idea what that was all about when I was reading it, but it may be one of the connections to The Dark Tower series.

[AGuy1719]

@RullyisJRM You didn't forget mentioning the Dead Lights.

[RullyisJRM]

@AGuy1719 Oh. Lol.

I saw the movie, or mini series first and i thought it was great. And it's what made me really want to read the book. When i read through it i kept on thinking how much better it was than the movie. After reading the book, i actually hate the movie. The only thing i really still like about it is the music.

But, yeah like most people i really don't get the sex bit with all of them. I remember reading it on some comment, and i was thinking: WHAT?! Come on, that's a joke.

Oh, my goodness, I think the gang bang was totally unnecessary. I don't know what Stephen was thinking when he wrote that scene! He should've at least waited until they were legal adults! I am all for explicit sex, but threesomes and gang bangs? Oh, my gosh, and how was it even supposed to make a difference? If they wanted to unite forces against Pennywise, they should've gone about it some other way. I don't know, as if Stephen hadn't done enough damage to the poor kids.

[BigBoiReviews]

yeah the sex scene as kids was a bit much. but i bawled my eyes out at this book and when eddie died. oh. my heart was broken

[PersianEagle5000]

@AGuy1719 lol I have the same opinion with you after finished the book

[Losteys]

5:48 - 5:51 Laugh out loud at your reaction.

The only part of this book that really bothered me, was the 11 year old sex scene. Way over the top, in my opinion.
