best/worst part of IT?

The dynamic of the childhood friends was my favorite theme through the book. Uncle Stevie consistently nails the whole "kid" existence. I'm also envious, coz I never had the experience of a large group of close friends like that. Plus, it's tremendous how they all fall back into the old familiar rhythms/routines when they re-unite. Well and uh, that whole Cosmic Turtle thing is pretty cool too!

Hrm. That is interesting because it never happened in the book. Bev's father didn't transform as she was a child, nor did It ever "transform" into a spider while chasing anyone. I don't think you actually cracked the book.

Wow, whats your problem? He probably just didn't remember that well. No need to be a dick about it.

I'm pretty sure there is a line or two in there about a kid witnessing the chase and seeing Al Marsh changing into a spider inside his clothes, that must be where the confusion comes from.

I love the whole book,so no favorite part. But Pennywise far more than I would have ever imagioned from a clown. Great character.

I enjoyed the Interludes more than any other part of the book, paticularly the story of Claude Heroux, and the way the other people in the bar just went on joking and smoking while he was cutting his swath.

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I seem to remember that just before the Losers go through the little fairty tale door, they can still hear Henry and his gand behind them, and they actually hear Belch get it, but after that, we get no information as to how Henry escaped -- although the Losers themselves had to go to (what some people believe are) ridiculous extremes to find their way out. This particular aspect of the story kept screming at me the last time I read it and if there's a glaring weakness in the continuity -- this is it.

I think the ending, after they kill it. there is such a huge sense of sadness and loss with them all starting to forget, but there was still hope in all of the survivors, that they would always be together, and remember in dreams. Really well written and quite powerful after reading 1100 pages.
