I am currently reading this book and I think it is good.
Mod
i just finished it a couple of weeks ago actually. And other than being awesome (because King just turns every book into gold) it reinforces SOO MUCH my fear of clowns... I'll wait to have more people who red the book here so we can discuss it, I don't want to spoil anything :P enjoy!
It is my favorite Stephen King book!
oh my cousin recemended me the book actually.
I really want to read this book because:1) It's on my to-read list
2) I will be participating in my first ever BOTM and
3) It will count for my Read Your Name Challenge
But I don't think I will be able to read this book until late December :(
Mod
well then you must know that the book is too long.
I am aware that the book is very long.
So......any thoughts on the beginning of the book? How are the first few chapters going for everybody?
just fine but the most terrifyng chapter is after the festival.
I love this book. I read it in three days way back when.
I was off work and did nothing but sleep, read and eat. LOL
but that's impossible for me. maybe because I am new to reading.
Sometimes it is the absolute best way to be
I prefer slow reading just for some reason
"it" is way to long yaar I don't know I am gonna read this. looking at a book this size is simply discouraging :(

Is anyone else annoyed by the constant baby boomer pop culture references? One of my problems with SK is that he doesn't seem to realize that there are a lot of readers in this world who came along after the baby boom was over and all those references mean little or nothing to us.

I'm only about 200 pages into the book, and I haven't noticed anything, yet. But, I grew up living with various people who belong to the "baby boomer" generation, so that's what most of my pop culture knowledge covers, until the early 2000s when I kind of started picking up things on my own, so maybe that's why I haven't noticed it.
What do you guys think about the testimony... when he sees the clown under the boardwalk....I couldn't sleep that night after reading that
actually I haven't gone that far yet. which chapter is it?
Oh good question lol! Not too far in the book, maybe thenth at most
oh. okay but I am not that far yet. only completed 92 pages so far. thinking I should skip it and read it while I have the time .
Skip pages you mean? Or skip the book?Either way you should devour each page, the story is just awesome as it unfolds.
As for skipping the book to get to it later, personally I can't do that. If I pick up a book, I have to read it to the last page. it's like if I couldn't break the bond with the story or characters.
yeah it is same with me. but I am new to books and this books seems too long for now. but I know it is way too awesome I have read king's "misery"(which I didn't life,e that much) but the thoughts he created in the character's mind and how he described the past mixed with the present. I was so happy that my cousin already have some Stephen king's book. otherwise I would have to buy them myself (which I couldn't).
Well go through you cousin's collection and see if he has ''Needful things'' from King :) it's my all-time favorite.But back to the topic. So who's where now?
Mod
But back to the topic. So who's where now?"
I', on the part where Mike Hanlon first meets the Losers' Club...when he's trying to get away from Henry Bowers and his group....and he stumbles upon the Losers' Club...I'm loving the book so far:)
All the bullying that happens in the book when they were young... kinda made me sad. I despise bullying and I find it always kinda hard to read about kids being bullied
Mod
actually he have needful things in his collection because he mostly have horror books and king is his fav author but did anyone liked "misery"? I didn't.

And those who do get them enjoy it (or I do anyway)
Cath wrote: "All the bullying that happens in the book when they were young... kinda made me sad. I despise bullying and I find it always kinda hard to read about kids being bullied"I get that. But at the same time, there have always been kids who bullied other kids, so it is realistic
This one is a commitment book for sure! I read it about three years go, and liked it. I STILL can't get the Ritual of Chud out of my head!
