It

[maizie273]

I read this book for the first time when I was 14 years old - and it has been the only book ever that scared me so much that I literally had to put it down and walk away. Finally reading it again at 41 years of age and still ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. Truly my favorite Stephen King book. Just got to the part where Bill and Eddie went into the cellar on Niebolt St....fantastic!!

Gotta love Stephen King!!!!!

[mustangclaire]

I have not read it IT in a long while, although I read it many times. I am now listening to the audiobook and have fogotten how wonderful it is.

How many times do we all use the word it in a sentence?

Marsha this is on utube and I hope it is legal, please let me know and I will provide the link.

I recently re-read IT for the first time in 25 years, and loved the whole thing again. I had forgot many details.

Ummm, of course it's not legal. I'll be taking steps to have youtube remove it as copyright infringement. Anytime you see a full posting--even if it's done in multiple postings--of an audiobook of Stephen's on youtube or any other site, you can pretty much know that it's not been put there legally.

I have been reading SK books for the past 18 years or so (give or take since 5-6th grade) and never read It. About halfway through right now and its a great book. If Derry was real, wouldn't the murders be starting back up about right now? Every 28 years or so, last happened in 1985.. I just thought it was odd that I never thought to read this until now.

Picked up a brand new copy of IT yesterday. It was a toss up between IT and the Stand. Read the first two chapters in bed last night and had crazy nightmares. God help me over the next month!

I set the eldest bratling to reading IT. He put it down pretty quick to read something a little less like nightmare fuel--Nightmares and Dreamscapes....

[michal]

I must have reread that one at least a dozen times and every time I notice something new. Funny though, the things that impress you at 14 comparing to the things you find extraordinary at 30... How does the old saying goes? You can't cross the same river twice, because you're not the same person and it's not the same river. Well, It is certainly not the same book :).

Yes, 1985 + 27 == 2012.

There was some speculation that Mr. King might revisit the aging Losers, who'd be collecting their first Social Security checks right about now, but that idea was quashed--Mr. King, it seems, is done with clowns.

And rightly so, in my opinion. The story is told, and it shouldn't be meddled with, nevermind how much I might want to read more. The little temptations he leaves lying around are maddening, though--the purple aura, the graffiti--simply maddening.

still freaked out by that infamous scene when there kids in the sewer (ill not spoil it ) but it was well weird

I'm afraid you're in for one he'll of a crazy month, a brilliant one. I envy people who are reading IT for the first time.

[Chris1974100]

great book, i also read and finished it last month, quite long but its a good book to read and yeah it this novel is quite scary hahaha

[Julia Evseeva]

Powerful psychological book.
Mr. King knows what you're afraid of.

The House on NStreet--holy cow. It just gets me thinking how generational and how RIGHT the book is. For kids growing up in the 50s, you have werewolves, haunted houses, the Mummy, the monster created by Dr. Frankenstein, every horror device that triggered in the era. Fast forward to the 1980s, and King makes references to Sigourney Weaver and the alien...

What might the monster become today, in the new generation of IT?
