Just finished reading IT. For me what made the book special is how each character had a detailed background which made them truly likeable and explained their motivations. My favourite parts were the ones "between the horror"
I hear ya. But for me the between stuff feels like a bit of a drag. Admittedly, a book that long always drags when your attention span is short like mine. I haven't finished it yet, and I've read three or four other books since I started it. Every time I go back to it, I always want to get to the monster portions because I'm dying to get some insight on the true nature of the monster itself. I'm a fan of the dark tower books (Haven't finished them yet either, halfway through wizard and glass. I know I'm a shit reader), I've heard that the monster from It is related to the dark tower in some major way. I figured that since It was written previously I could make connections as I finish the series. All these books I'm partially through, and I'm over here reading short ones like Joe and Killing Floor. Please don't spoil any King lore, I promise I'll finish them one day
The movie scared the 💩 outta me as a kid. Later in life I read the book and it scared me even more than the movie did when I was a child. Amazing characters and story.
There was always just this one, mysterious fundamental Detail regarding It’sTrue Nature that, for years, found myself unable to fully reconcile or properly comprehend - why it’s two most common forms of physical manifestation should be Sinister Male Clown OR a Giant, Female Cosmic Space Spider -
The sinister male clown form exists because it's grounded in reality but it's also scary for kids, and the female cosmic space spider is his "true form" of sorts, at least in the physical world. His form is incomprehensible really but we physically see him as a spider
it's funny how great writers do that bit about not knowing where they get their ideas (clairvoyance, really, some poets don't really struggle going there, that's why so many poets are also mystics and philosophers. hey, some writers and poets are doctors.). you have to be kinda dumb to be just a writer, but dumb in a genius way, like not taking to pains to think about ideas themselves and their nature.
Different times I guess. Lolita was from like 15 years before, even tho it's a horrible concept it's a 'must read once' book. I guess SK wanted to display some metaphoric way of going from childhood to adolescensce in a very intimate and personal way in the losers club POV. It has a solid reason to be but people don't wanna see it that way. It's okay for the clown to kill children but, children having intercourse it's too much < there's a serious escalation. About the turtle, I didn't find it boring nor did most readers that are familiar with King's origin. He made an Elder (such as Cthulhu in the picture) a simple concept easy to digest.

Stephen King is awesome
He reeks of awesomeness across the board
The character depth was incredible. Loveable and all flawed in their own way. Really takes you on the journey.
The movie scared the 💩 outta me as a kid. Later in life I read the book and it scared me even more than the movie did when I was a child. Amazing characters and story.

I watched this movie at the age of 6 I couldn’t use the restroom or go near a sewer

My phone calls are that consuming?
Stephen King is a ok author, but that scene in IT scarred me for life (If you’re a Stephen King fan, you know what I’m talking about)
Which one?
@@ruaribunn4636 not 100% sure but they MIGHT be inferring to the gangbang scene.
Oh yeah, that part where Eddie brings a Pepsi through the door and Roland nearly came his pants when he tasted it.
@@jameswilliams7059 what about the time the giant cosmic turtle says shit
Is it georgie death
