and here's the thing... this book has a lot of amazing things and i absolutely loved reading these characters' childhood and their fears and relationships with each other and the world, but there were a lot of unnecessary parts. this book made me feel very uncomfortable a lot of times and after a while i really got tired of all the discrimination it has.. i mean it discriminates black people, the lgbt+ community, jews, asians and those are the ones i remember.. stephen king probably wrote mike as a black character just to be able to write all those insults and say the n word how many times he wanted. it was way too much. and then didn't focus enough on the story telling itself, and even though i loved some parts of the book, there were a lot that i couldn't despise more. so i'm pretty sure this is a an exact 50%, very balanced out... would love to reread certain parts, but i don't think i could ever read it in its entirety again...
