I NEVER READ THE BOOK BUT ID BET MONEY IT DIDNST START THE LATER PART OF THEIR LIVES OUT WITH A HOMO COUPLE MAKEING OUT AND THEN GETTING OFFED BY PENNYWISE.....OH BOY....AND THEN WE HAVE TWO OF THE MAIN CHARACTS IN THE LOOSERS CLUB EITHER BE OPENLY GAY OR HINTED AT BEING GAY......EVERYTHING THE PART ONE BUILT UP FELL ON ITS FACE IN THIS ONE.....IT DITCHED ANY GOOD NARRATIV FOR "THE MESSAGE" I RECOMEND PART ONE AND LEAVING IT THERE.
