How do you know if a book you pirated is complete/original/full etc ? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I downloaded a certain epub from Anna's archive but as i have never read it before and i don't know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don't think I'm allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i'll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv episode i can check the length and can tell if it was cut . Do i have to download multiple copies ? even then how would i compare ? Anna's archive is showing me so many results on the same book . If anyone wanna help me out by sending me the links to a copy they are sure is full/real thing as they have read it before do feel free to dm or reach out on this thread if that's not against the rule .

Just to let everyone know which book i'm talkin about i'll drop a hint - It has a show in which a pretty beloved celebrity starred who is also a huge fan of the series and quit due to showrunners incompetence . It also has a pretty succesful game series and the book i'm trying to read is the first one of the series which consists of many shorts stories if i'm not mistaken . If this is also against the rules do let me know and i'll remove it .

Edit : typos and maybe wrong sub or c or whatever and maybe might have broken a few rules even tho i have tried hard to not breake any .

That reminds me, many years ago I was reading Stephen King's It from an epub I found online and when I reached that scene I stopped reading and went online just to make sure I wasn't reading some long con prank someone edited in.

I haven't read it but I'm curious... can you say what that scene is about without spoiling too much?

It doesn't really spoil much of the plot tbh and it's still a great book but going from memory:

the scene

Why is this so hard to put into words. Have you seen the movies or even the trailer? You know how It flashes between when they were young and later when they return back to the town? This scene is late in the book and takes place when they're young. The boys in the group all take turns having (consensual) sex with the girl

the rationale?

it represents them maturing into adults or the bond or something that makes them no longer vulnerable to It? Like I said it's been a while but on much later I remember it frequently being referenced as a gangbang and someone would always correct sharing it's a train 🤷‍♂️
