The hardest part of IT to read for me was Patrick Hockstetter killing is brother. He was like 5 right? So fricked up. And the detail King goes into made me feel sick.

Patrick's chapter is very fricked up.
It's arguably the most unsettling part of the book

Putting my thoughts in this thread instead of just the Sex scene thread.
I've been listening to it over the past weeks and got to this scene yesterday. It completely blindsided me. King was obviously on lots of drugs when he wrote this.
*More Spoilers I guess***
I finished "IT" today, and overall I really liked the book. But some of the parts and asides can really take you out of the moment. By the end, I didn't care about the destruction of Derry, I just wanted to stay with the Losers.
That being said, the part that really got to me was the final forgetting at the end. They had rebuilt this friendship and reconnected, but they knew they would forget each other again. Richie's final "I love you man" and Mike's "I loved all of you so much" have stuck with me since I got to that. Not the kind of things you expect to take away from a horror book.

Holy crap. I can't think of another writer who can use so many pages and so much description to say so very little.
Does speaking in 3rd person only apply to the OT?
I heard IT was a great book. If you don't like it, it's you, not Pennywise.

I loved Dr Sleep. Not top 5, but a damn good book.
