I was wondering if anyone else is going to revisit it, or read it for the first time, prior to seeing the film. Any one out there going to check out the source material before hitting the cinema?
Maybe we can have an ultra Horror nerd book group discussion as we progress.

Just finished it for the first time. My biggest issue with the book is the rough pacing. I honestly just skimmed a few sections because..well for example when Stans wife discovers him in the beginning. That part was so drawn out and the descriptions were unnecessary. The gang bang, the diary, the town at the end were some other parts that weren't well done.
That being said I loved the "coming of age" tale of the losers club. Those kids were a cool group. I also would have enjoyed more perspective from Pennywise as well. Now I gotta re-watch It in prep for the redo.
EDIT- looks like Im not alone in the long winded descriptions :)
