It. Movie Tie-In
It. Movie Tie-In | Stephen King
Derry, Maine is just an ordinary town : familiar, well- ordered for the most part, a good place to live. It is a group of children who see - and feel - what makes Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurks, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT appears as an evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reaches up, seizing, tearing, killing... Time passes and the children grow up, move away and forget. Until they are called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories, emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

My Halloween aesthetic 💀 for the #hauntedhollowswap ! This is always a fun collage to make 😆, as Halloween and fall are just my absolute favorite times of the year! These are my main guys tagged and pictured . I‘m always big on decorating, makeup, nails, games.. anything really! Glad the pink and neon decorations have become big! I‘m obsessed with the skulls/flowers/books aesthetic anymore as well.

I finally finished IT! It‘s pretty standard King: lots of details and perfect characterization building up to a point where all the small details from the beginning come back around, and a less-than-stellar ending. Probably the scariest book I‘ve ever read. I think the part at the end with Beverly and all the boys could have been left out, because WHY? Y‘all know what part I mean.

Next up #readingStephenKing: The Eyes of the Dragon!

1. IT - This is one of my all time favorite movies and books. I loved the original and the remake.
2. Shawshank Redemption - I loved how the movie took this short story and turned it into this amazing movie.
3. Hobbit - like above, I loved that they made 3 movies from 1 book. I love the added stories that helped you connect more with all the characters.
Honorable mentions : The Shining, Hunger Games and True Blood.

I‘m so excited that I finally made it over 1000 pages in my #currentlyreading!! I‘m at the point now where I absolutely can‘t stand having to put the book down or turn the audiobook off to do things like work my job, take a shower, or go to sleep. I‘d love to be able to finish IT this week!

My progress: page 1037/1477

Also: anyone else love reading in your car? I just love it for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

I knew it would be scary, but I‘m really creeped out by IT. I can‘t stand to read it at night 🫣 Most of me is enjoying the journey with King‘s *perfect* characterization and attention to detail, but part of me is ready to be done with it so I‘m not suspicious near sink drains anymore🩸🤡

My progress so far in the two Chunksters I‘m #currentlyreading

Page 176/839 in A Game of Thrones
Page 321/1477 in IT

I‘m savoring AGoT while knowing heartache lays ahead. This is my third time reading it. And IT is starting to pick up a bit for me as King continues to lay out the relationship among this group of young friends. IT is quite creepy. And dark. I‘m glad I‘m reading something else along with it.

Three of my favorite bildingsromans are:
1. It by Stephen King—there‘s nothing like a killer paranormal clown to help you transition to adulthood! 🤡
2. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton—I fell in love with this as a teenager and still love it today. This tiny book packs a real emotional wallop! ❤️
3. Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward—a lyrical tale of magical realism.

My favorite weekend activity is my book, my coffee, and my pup in a quiet house.

I‘m almost 100/1477 pages in. I love the beginnings of King‘s books, where he slowwwly sets the scene and helps us get to know his characters with details that seem unimportant at first but rear their heads as the action starts to take place. There are not many better places to be than the early pages of a Stephen King chunkster. *chef‘s kiss*

I took today off from work (🥳) and I‘m so excited to be starting IT! I feel like I saw the movie when I was younger (far too young to be watching it, probably) but I don‘t remember much of anything about it except for the scary clown and…spiders? I think? Anyway.

I think I‘ll read this one slowly, as a background book while I also read other things. I read The Stand slowly and loved taking my time with it.

Ho voluto rileggere It in lingua originale anni dopo averlo letto in italiano e sono rimasta scioccata da quanti aspetti orribili di questo libro avevo dimenticato:
King crea sì un gruppo diverso di protagonisti, ma poi comunque esclude in maniera evidente Mike e Stan.
Una donna (e soprattutto una ragazza) ha molto più da offrire che il proprio corpo!
Unico aspetto positivo: scovare Dick Hallorann e Christine in questo libro.

iaietta Maledizione, mi sarebbe piaciuto provare a leggere IT 9mo
giulia.mosna @iaietta prima di questa rilettura te l'avrei pure consigliato, ma adesso ti direi di evitare e leggere altri classici di Stephen King, tipo Shining o Misery, che mi sono piaciuti molto 9mo

1. I feel like it's a toss up between present day, dystopia futures and 60s-80s.
2. Into the Tide. It was a cute Best Friends sister Romance.
3. It by Stephen King. That book took forever but it was so good.

How do you condense a 1,000+ page masterpiece into a less than 500 words review?
King always surprises me with how well he can remind me of childhood fear. How well your own imagination can frighten you more than real life. And how that same imagination can be your only weapon against both the real and imagined horrors of this world. I enjoyed how the past and “current” events tied together throughout the book. I love King‘s writing style.🤡

mom_of_4 I want to read this one. I love the movie. 10mo
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @mom_of_4 I‘m a HUGE fan of both the miniseries and the newer movies. The book is quite a bit different, but not in a way that would bug me. There‘s a lot of things in it that you just can‘t translate well into a condensed visual version. 10mo

For every part of IT that I enjoyed there was an equally cringeworthy part I hated. But given the scope of this project, it‘s no surprise, and King is successful in a lot of ways. While it is not his best (written) book I can understand the obsession with it. For me, what really works are the set pieces — the Barrens, the sewer pipes, Derry, the house on Niebolt Street. And of course Pennywise is iconic and truly deserving of Its status in horror.

Day 22 #Scarathlon Photo Challenge - Fear/Scare. I read IT during the Summer of 1993 and no other book has ever scared me as much. I laughed and laughed through the first movie adaptation and I haven't watched the newer one because I'm afraid that cinematography might finally be good enough to bring this book to life. I don't need those nightmares again! #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

Good but bloated storytelling, but I found the idea of a clown in the sewers a bit ridiculous from word one, so I never found this scary. And then in the last 60 pages of this 1153 page book is an abhorrent scene, exploiting all the kids and adultifying an 11 year old girl. It‘s disgusting and had I known about it in advance, I would not have read this.

Phew, finally finished all 45 hours of the audiobook! I get all the criticisms I've heard about this book. It's indeed sprawling and messy, and there are a number of really uncomfortable scenes, but I absolutely loved the story and the characters all the same. I'm quite sure I'll be rereading this book at some future date.

(1986) This was the bestselling novel in the US for 1986. I know this is a favorite for many readers, and I get it -- I love the blend of personal and cosmic horror, and SK knows how to stage it effectively. But I find his sprawling prose style exasperating, the wink-nudge racism hasn't aged well, and there's a scene near the end that left me needing a brain bleach, not to mention holding an #unpopularopinion.

Bookwormjillk Yeah that scene was pretty terrible and the reason why I won‘t re-read this one. 1y
swynn My reaction was "So-So" until I hit that. Now I'm just glad it's over. I'm checking out the film adaptations, partially to see how they finessed the ending. My recollection of the TV miniseries is that it was very different. 1y
ChaoticMissAdventures The racism in his older works is one reason I do not revisit them. 1y
