It by Stephen King buddy read

[Irene]

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live.

It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . .

The adults, knowing better, knew nothing.

Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

Sarah Jane and I will be buddy reading this huge and scary book together, starting today. Everyone's welcome to join :)

[Rebecka]

I've been really wanting to read this again. Maybe I'll join you guys

[Irene]

Yay! :) I hope I'll like it!

[Storm]

Oh gosh I saw the movie last year, scared the living daylights out of me. Have fun with it guys!

[Janie]

When I was a kid, my brother and I watched the movie so many times we wore the vhs out. I've been wanting to read it for years! :D

[Irene]

Random question: What are the parts between the parts called? Between part one and two, there are a few pages, but what is that 'part' called? I know what it's called in my book of course, but I'm reading it in DAnish so that won't be of too much help :P

I haven't seen the film :O

[Irene]

First interlude (first part about Derry. Between part one and two)
(view spoiler)[Okay, this is more scary already. This part about Derry made it feel true and therefor more scary, I think.

I like it so far, especially Bev and Bill's parts. I'm very interested to find out what happened all those years ago and what will happen to them now. And what happened to Stanley Uris?! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Part 2, chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Wow that 'gang' is cruel to Ben! I like how Ben helped Bill and Eddie out, that was nice of him.
Also, what is up with that photoalbum?! (hide spoiler)]

It looks like you already got the answer - but interlude is what it says in my book (in English) and then it's numbered them first, second, etc.

I started yesterday - only 15 pages in.

[Rebecka]

Woot just starting it now :)

[Janie]

I want to read it to help me fall asleep like I normally do, but it's 2 am and if I start to read, I'll never go to sleep :(

[Irene]

Done with part two.
(view spoiler)[Aww. Beverly. What a rough life! First her dad, then her husband. I hope she won't ever see him again! (hide spoiler)]
I'm still not scared though...

[Irene]

Part 3, chaper 10, chapter 4 (45%):
(view spoiler)[Wow that's a lot of deaths. What did they do to stop it? I'm so curious, I just wanna know now! What is it they don't remember? That kid who was killed in the toilet, that was awful! (hide spoiler)]

I feel like it's more suspenseful so far instead of scary. Although Eddie's story was a bit creepy.

[Janie]

I've had a very clingy 4 month old - haven't been able to read much :(

[Irene]

Done
(view spoiler)[What a let down!! It wasn't scary at any point, and I didn't feel like much happened. It would've been fine if it was 200 pages I think... (hide spoiler)]
