Wow, I REALLY liked this. It's very King-esque, with tiny yet impactful details of character deftly mixed with gruesome horror. And it feels very plausible, like this is totally what their lives would have been like at this point in time.

It's been so long since I read the book that I couldn't remember who had stayed in Derry through the end of high school, so it was lovely anticipating and being pleasantly surprised at the familiar faces. And gah, how sad that those faces were barely familiar to each other.
