Is IT worth reading after seeing the movie?

[rose key]

The book is so much better than the movie. You must read the book!

Uhm, YES

The novel is about a thousand times better than the movie, no joke! I like the film, it's okay and i suppose good for a mini series. IT is unfilmable like most good novels imo. Adaptations which respect the story can be made, of course, but some just cannot be transformed like that. That's the magic of the written word.

Couldn't agree more you've got to read the book.

Read, Read, Read. A story nevercomes more alive for me than when I read it without someone elses visuals getting in the way of my own imagination.

I like them both. I saw the miniseries a few times, then read the book. I honestly don't feel like the miniseries did it any injustice, or really missed out anything. I feel the same about The Stand too honestly.

I would love it if you would tell us your opinion , now that you probably have read the book. To me "IT" and "Dreamcatcher" are genuine, vintage SK-books!!!! They are all that I love about his writing.

Yes, if you liked the movie, or if you didn't, you need to read this book. While I did really like the miniseries, the book is soooo much better. I still get the creeps when they open up the scrapbook. One of the most spine tingling experience I have ever had reading one of his books. Please don't short change yourself and not read this book because of the TV show. I loved this book, loved the show, but the book is what came out of Mr. King's mind. Try as they might, you just can't beat that. My adivce to you. Read it, you will not be disapointed

Yes, it is worth reading. Definitely.
