    “Definitely! A great book, as most of King's are. But, beware...don't read before going to bed, because if you're like me, you're liable to have nightmares. Enjoy!”

    “I've read like 500 pages till now and I must say that I don't find anything great about it. It's just a lot of writing. I've read better descriptions than that. It's totally messed up. I will try other books by him, just to convince myself that the rumors I've heard about him are true. That he is indeed a magnificent writer. I didn't got scared at all. Where's the horror except dead people? Why am I not scared? I've read earlier a book written by his son, Joe Hill, and it's much better than this.”

    “I have read "It" a very long time ago (I was 10 or 12) and I really liked "It" on the first place for its slowly-and-softly-brought atmosphere and that is what King is a master at.
    But I must recognize that the end is somehow hard to believe. It lack "something", although you can't tell what (let's call it "a real ending").
    That's the reason why I put a grade of (****) instead of (*****).”

    “I agree with Kim M.

    I really did enjoy the book for what it was. I enjoyed the story of when the group were kids. The whole "horror' aspect of 'It" wasn't what I enjoyed about the book at all. I enjoyed the dynamic between this group of friends growing up in their generation.

    It was reminiscent of another book, one I liked much better called "Boy's Life" by Robert McCammon. The majority of that novel is set in the summer of 1964 in small town Alabama.”

    “Hi, is there anyone out there who doesn’t think IT to be that great novel? I sure hope I’m not the only one, or I’ll begin to think I’ve misunderstood something!!!! I’m a great King’s fan (as you can see from my shelf) and I must honestly say I liked ¾ of IT but sometimes it seems King is not able to find a suitable ending to his novels and spoils all wonderful things he wrote in the first part of the novel. To find out what IT really ass disappointed me very much and even the way the guy finally defeated it was an unwelcome surprise. I don’t want to get much into details here in case someone who hasn’t read IT yet should read this but what do you say about the way the kids cemented their friendship before finding the courage to fight IT all together. They were just children and I found that episode disgusting and it had nothing to do with the rest……Well pet cematary was very good and scary and so was Shining. The tommyknockers was also a far better novel than IT!!!! Well guys let me know what you think of this”
