I read this book back in 2012 and loved it. I recently revisited on audiobook (since I spend endless hours behind the wheel), and fell in love with it all over again. Since "IT" is my absolute favorite SK's book, I was thrilled when he chose Derry as part of the story, and even allowed some of the stories to intertwine.

I love the Sadie storyline of the book the best. The line "How we danced!" … almost killed me. Craig Wasson does the narrating in the audiobook, and he is phenomenal. He gave life to all characters with distinctive voices. I was so frustrated at times realizing it is a work of fiction, and George/Jake and Sadie are not real.

Life turns on a dime.

“... if you reach the age of twenty-five or thirty without knowing how to spell (TOTALLY, not TODILLY), or capitalize in the proper places (White House, not white-house), or write a sentence containing both a noun AND a verb, you're probably never going to know.”
