I LOVED It with a passion when I a kid! I read It dozens of times starting in about 8th grade. I think I took it off my my dad's book shelf with out permission. This kids in the book were the same age as me and I really identified with them. For the new movies they will be setting the adult scenes now and the kids scenes in the 80s so it should be an interesting change. I'm interested to see how they pull this off in 2 movies.
