I read this book when I was 12 in December 2019 to early 2020 It took me while to read because of school but I read It any chance I got. It made me laugh and cry. I wasn't really scared, but I had already seen all the It movies ( the old ones included ) so I knew what to expect. Overall this is a great book for anyone who has the patience to read it. It is my favorite book I have read so far and it will always be one of the best works of literature I have read. All I am saying is that I really recommend this book especially if you were a fan of the movies and still had questions. He explains everything very well in it. But anyway Happy Reading and have a great day.
