[Irene]

Okay, so I'm also reading this in another group, so I thought I'd share my thoughts so far :) Hope that's ok!

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)]

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)]

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...

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)]

[Max]

I might read this... not sure.

[Irene]

So...why 2 stars? I'm just curious..

[Connie]

I'm gonna read this book in a couple of days I'll be sure to post my thoughts!

[Irene]

But why did you give it two stars then? :) Why not 0 or 1?

[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)]

[Connie]

I KNOW IM SO LATE IM READING IT NOW

[Connie]

(view spoiler)[ Why is George not concerned that this clown is out in a storm? Also, the writing is very nice in this book. Very visual. I like it. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Chapter Three: I'm horrified already

this seems so real

I also live near a place called Derry so

[Connie]

I LOVED BILL'S PART AND THE INTERLUDE, also I knew it, I freaking knew it. The town is named after the Derry near me. Great, never going back there *shudders*

I'm onto part two now, I'm so excited to get through this book but it's a long one D:

[Connie]

Part 2 Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I love that it's gone back in time to tell you what actually happened! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Connie wrote: "Part 2 Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I liked that two. Also, the interludes! That was some good thinking! :D

[Connie]

Part Two/Interlude 2: I really like the interludes, they're really easy to read? Like the whole book is easy to read but they just seem more casual and you can fly through them

I'm excited to see what part three is about!

[Connie]

Part Three/Interlude Three: (view spoiler)[ Can IT eat Tom please? He's such a grade A *insert choice of swear word here* and I think Bill's stutter coming back is really sad :( (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Connie wrote: "Part Three/Interlude Three: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I loved how Bill was written, I even stammered myself when I read it haha :D (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Irene wrote: "Connie wrote: "Part Three/Interlude Three: [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"


Same here!

Part Four: (view spoiler)[ Eddie's mother is fucking insane, pardon my french if you're a religious person ;) I really am enjoying this book so much (hide spoiler)]

I'm 900 pages in, with about 200 more or so to go I think I might be able to finish it tonight!

Haha, no worries, I'm not :)

Wow you're so fast!! :O That's amazing!

[Connie]

I'm about 90 pages from the end now!

I really like how the end of one sentence starts the next

[Connie]

I just finished, definitely four stars from me!

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I miss this type of Stephen King. This is classic King. Great writing and its started out in a nice way. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Falling a little behind on the chapter a day but will catch up later tonight.

[Jessie]

Is anyone still reading this? I read It when I was too young I think. Had nightmares for a long time to come. Yet now I love Stephen King's books. Would love to see what I think nowadays.

[[deleted user]]

I plan on picking it up again in a few days.
