best/worst part of IT?

[aimeeleanne]

IT was probably one of his better books. I watched the movie first a couple years ago, and it terrified me. But when I read the book, that seemed to calm the fear, which is funny because you would think the book would be worse, right? The book is great, and I'd recommend it to anyone who has a fear of all things unknown.

I finished IT two years ago and I liked it. The only part I didn't like much was at the end of the book where the clown became a big spider. I think that it was a little fake and I would prefer another end.

Best part has got to be Pennywise,the scariest SK character for me,clowns still give me the creeps even now!
Have to agree that the whole spider thing was a bit lame.....perhaps someone may have a suggestion for an alternative ending?

Too short !

Exactly.

I loved It! So far it's my favorite SK book! The whole book was great but I do think that the whole spider thing could have been made to be something more scary but it was still very good! My fav part was also when we got to here It's point of view.

My least favorite part was the "gangbang" in the sewers. It just made me cringe. I can't really pick a favorite part. I know I really got creeped out by Stan and what he saw in the Standpipe though.

Loved the book IT, my most memorable part did not become part of the movie in which Richies monster was really the Huge Paul Bunyon statue that comes alive and chases him first as a child and then as an adult.

I think my favorite part was when an adult Ben Hanscom goes to visit the Derry Public Library and encounters Pennywise. That scene was scary, in the fact that he was under all that pressure not to lose his cool although he was seeing all this visions of terror before him.

The best part was reading from IT's perspective. The worst part was having to wait until the end to do so.


And personally, I think the sewer "gangbang" should've been in the movie. I get there could be legal issues there at any rate, but it's an integral event of the story. It let them escape.

Recently reread IT. Had forgotten what a GREAT book "it" was. Enjoyed it fully. I was especially jazzed (LOL - jazzed- I guess I am dating myself using that vernacular) about the Turtle!!! Last time I had read this book was LLOOOONNNNGGGG ago, before the last of the Dark Tower Series.

Do any of you have that thrill of 'connecting the dots' with some of the DT tie ins when rereading? Kinda like a treasure hunt.
