Yes! Except that it is my favorite out of everything else. I wish I could give it more than a 5Originally Posted by Jean

I liked it a lot, but am going with "4." I didn't like the ending and some of the manifestations/powers of Pennywise were not handled well (they took me out of the story). Don't get me wrong--this is a very good book with some of the best characters King ever wrote. But there's just that little something that holds it back from the elite of the elite.
5. Very good book, with such an amazing villain. It got a little repetitive at times, but that was OK because it was interesting.
Scene 1: Kid A meets up with Pennywise
Scene 2: Kid B meets up with Pennywise
Scene 3: Kid C meets up with Pennywise
Scene 64: Adult A meets up with Pennywise
Scene 65: Adult B meets up with Pennywise
Scene 66: Adult C meets up with Pennywise
And seriously:
Spoiler:
Loved this one! Have re-read many times. I also thought the TV movie adaptation was decent, better than most.

5. Favorite book period. Also, we have a lengthy discussion about the scene in question in the It discussion thread.

Loved it! Only The Stand rates higher imo.

Come to think of it, those imperfections are among the things that make the book so unique. I don't think I've made myself clear this time, sorry - I got to do some more thinking about this.
Come on. Nothing does.

Got a four from me, it was a good book. But in regards to your spoiler - I really never understood the need for this.Spoiler:
I don't recall any of those knocking me out of the story... just knocking me out of my socks!
A 4 from me. I read this only a few years ago and all I remember is:
