An amazing piece of literature, my friend. I read it in high school and loved it. Even did an English paper on it (which I Aced). I've really never been a big fan of King's literary works (although I have enjoyed several of the movies based upon his novels). His work is a bit lewd for my taste. I mean, there's some profane word on basically every page, several graphic sexual scenes scattered about the novels themselves, and all of his characters seem to be overly sexual in general. I don't really see the need for any of this if his work is supposed to be a horror novel. I mean, in the novel for It, Beverly actually has sex with all of her male companions. Also, as a writer myself, I don't really feel going into graphic detail is always necessary. I mean, you don't necessarily have to say "she grabbed his balls with one hand, while ramming a finger up his ass with the other" to state two characters shared a sexual encounter (that was quite a lewd, graphic description right there, but you get the point).
Anyways, it's 7:46 in the goddamn morning and I can't sleep, so I just thought I'd share my two cents.
