Even though the book was over 1100 pages it still felt like it went by pretty quick for me. The length I thought was needed because I think the backstory parts were very good and needed.
I'm on page 374 atm and my favourite up to now is Ben, he has so much depth to him and he is bullied for being basically a bit of a nerd which I can totally relate to from my own days in high school.
Big Boss Ben is the sweetest character of any King book I've read. He has such a big heart and honest-to-goodness love for Bev that it wrenches my heart.
The Master Actor Honestly, don't dwell on what others think about you. They probably can't even read a basic book, they're unqualified to be regarded as intellectuals. If you love reading, it's a gift. Reading is a liable source of knowledge.
I read this book for three weeks straight when I was 15. Everyone remembers my grade ten year as me just walking around the entire school with Stephen King's IT with me everywhere I went. It took me three weeks to read it because I was reading this book every chance I got. (I remember getting my book taken from me in my religion class and I managed to get it back at the end of class.) Anyways, I had the same thougts as you. It was a bit too long and felt liked it dragged at parts, and I found myself eager to just read the bits with them as kids every time I was stuck in the parts with them as adults. I really loved the new movie because it was entirely what I loved about the book - the kids. I hope they put a lot of flashbacks in the sequel because those child actors made that movie fall in my top 10
Julia Sapphire this is kinda late but I got the new book “The Institute” and I don’t let nobody touch it cause it’s such a good novel, it’s one of my first Stephen king books and I carry around in school and ready it whenever I want (I’m in 9th grade btw) and when I carry the book people give me these looks and I don’t know why but his books just make me imagine every word he says, he’s probably the best novel, I might get IT but I’m wondering if there’s a hardcover, do you think there’s a hardcover, if not it’s good
Also, that film you were referring to with River Pheonix that you were unable to remember the title: it's "Stand By Me," which was based on a novella by Stephen King entitled "The Body." Great film, even greater read! Again- great video!
@@charlielechance6481 it was fine. The adult arc, whether it's the book, the tv miniseries, or the movies, is just not as good as the kid arc, so of course the sequel was not gonna be as good as the first one.
Honestly, what horrified me the most is It showing up as the moon for Henry. Just imagine, he was tortured by It and the captured souls of his friends all these years...yeah, he's an ass, but still.
ben is my favourite character. i feel related to him. a fat boy, lack of self assurance but have a great mind and a gentle soul. the haiku he wrote for beverly is so beautiful and i love every single piece of king's description of ben's feeling for bev, simple and so true.
I first read IT the year the miniseries came out (1990) but was too young to grasp all the information contained within. Last year (2021) I splurged on the Audible version and listened while reading it again. Steven Weber does a magnificent performance, in my opinion, of narration, character voices, and accents throughout the novel. I realize why the book has become a modern classic for my generation. Both for fans of Stephen King, The Dark Tower, and fiction in general. I’ve heard it referred to as Stephen King’s Moby Dick, but more successful sales-wise when it first came out.
I recommend u reading 'The Woman in the Black' by Susan Hill. It's basically a Gothic horror book about a spectre which haunts a small english, causing children to die.
I'm slowly getting back into reading as a sophmore college student; school had killed my passion for it before. Your channel is great & I'm glad to have found it!
I understand the practicality behind picking up mass market paperbacks, but I always pick up Stephen King hardcovers whenever I can. Guy is going to go down in history as one of the greatest authors in American literature. Need them hardcovers to display and hand down decades from now.
Is it worth a read if i’ve seen the new movie? I’m 13 and wasn’t scared by the movie, and i really want to read the book. How long did it take you to read the book? :)
I know I’m late to this comment, but I was wondering if you read it after and what you thought?😂 I’m reading it now and have about 300 pages left I think, and so far I’ve loved it
Hats off to everyone who read this loooong book. I listened to the audiobook and it was 44 hours long lol. It took me 6 weeks to listen to it all. Brilliant story maybe one day I’ll try and read the book
This is my favorite book of all time. And my favorite character is Eddie. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! And fun fact, this book had about 400 pages cut before it was published. So it very well could have been a 1,500 page book. XD
Read this book last year and it still hasn’t lost its appeal. I agree with it not having to be 1000+ pages, but I feel like it feels SO GOOD to read such a big book because it’s a classic :)
The IT book is one of the best books I have ever read. This book had some much detail that when I started reading the first page I felt I had to continue to the point where I finished it in a month
Is there a difference between the books? Because I bought a paper cover one on Amazon that hasn't arrived yet and the cover shows peenywise's arm (2017 version) handing a balloon to Gerorgie (2017). Is that different from the normal one?
This book is definitely one of my favorites. It’s not just a “scary book” like a lot of people who haven’t read it seem to think it is. There’s so many different emotions and themes that go into it. I think it’s true, gritty American literature of the 20th Century and will be a classic for years (possibly hundreds of them). I do agree that it could’ve been cut down a little (maybe two or three hundred pages), but it’s still a five star book for me. I’m lucky enough to own quite a few different editions of It. The first edition hardcover, the first mass market, the original movie series tie-in mass market, the 25th anniversary edition hardcover, the Pocket Books mass market edition, the white hardcover (like the one you have, just hardcover), and the trade paperback 2017 movie tie-in edition. When it’s a favorite, you gotta have a lot. That’s my motto, anyway. Great review!
Spooky Carrie I’m going to guess you don’t want to shell out a ridiculous amount of money for the 25th anniversary edition (which is by far the most beautiful, and lavish edition out there). If the person you’re buying it for is a huge fan and collector, definitely go for the white hardcover that was just recently re-released. If they are just a casual fan/casual reader, either the Pocket Books mass market edition (if you’re going mass market, that’s the one to go with), or one of the trade paperbacks (movie tie in, or the one displayed in Julia’s review). Just my recommendations, though. Happy gifting!
Dude when you were talking about bringing the book to school, I related so much! I have the hardcover version and brought mine to school it was such a pain, many stares as well!
I feel bad because I started reading this a couple months ago, but only made it to the 50 page mark before I completely stopped. (It’s pretty confusing at first 😂) I might start over and read it again, who knows
I found a book in my Junior High (middle school to you whippersnappers) library in 1978 called "Salem's Lot" and I was hooked on Stephen King for the next 40 years. I waited 30 years for him to finish "The Dark Tower". Sadly, I haven't read much of his new stuff because he can't seem to keep politics out of it. Don't know if you've read "The Stand" yet, but it is, by far, the best of the best. It is an amazing book. Even the mini-series that they made of it wasn't too bad.
There was also a reference, that was easy to miss, to The Dead Zone where Bev claims daring the adult-losers' reunion that she heard of a crazy policeman from Castle Rock who killed a bunch girls, she was referring to Frank Dodd but didn't say his name, that's why it was easy to miss the reference.
I'm only 90 pages in IT but it's a pretty good read. I got a bit of attention when I first brought it to school and this guy was joking, saying, "WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING YOURSELF!" because of how long it is!
I definitely feel more motivated to pick up IT now. I hope to start it this month and finish it late October or early November. I have the mass market paperback edition by the way, so I guess that's a good thing. Can't wait to see the movie!
I just finished under the dome and it is now my favorite book of all time. I just started IT will it top under the dome. I would like to know your opinion
aww thanks so much! um I'm gonna direct you to a video that I made about age restrictions and I talk about IT in that video// th-cam.com/video/iWmFhMlC2Lc/w-d-xo.html
I've only seen the miniseries but I'm very interested in reading the book, for obvious reasons. And by the way, who do you prefer? Tim curry or Bill Skarsgard?
+Johanna Miranda um sometimes I just tab whatever I find interesting or want to note. IT has a specifically colour coding system that I talk about in the video hah:)
Loved the review :). I just started getting really into King's books. Random question: Are you planning on tackling The Dark Tower series? Maybe I missed it in some of your videos but I'd love to know. I've just bought the 8 books box set along with The Stand and Salem's Lot (since I heard they're all connected to The Dark Tower. As well as Insomnia, Hearts of Atlantis, The Talisman books and It). Have you also read Salem's Lot? According to some that one was a lot creepier than It. But I love the story from all of them so far. Take care. And thanks for reading (if you did)!
+SleightMagician98 Thank you😊 I have read the first book in The Dark Tower series twice and I need to continue. Btw jealous that you got the box set because it's beautiful 😂 I have read Salems Lot but I found IT creepier ha. Thanks for commenting ::)
Julia Sapphire just saw your updated Stephen King collection. I'm jealous of how many copies you own of the Bill Hodges trilogy 😂. I'm missing the last one. Still haven't read the first two but now I'm really excited to.
I have read this for nearly all day now and I'm already on page 298 and so far is one of the best books I have ever read the characters are amazing alot of description I love the style of his writing. The topics in this book I found was definitely fear and probably some action as well. This book is so good I'm going to get if it bleeds his new book for my birthday and it already sounds amazing. I watched a video where Stephen king reads if it bleeds and it was so descriptive definitely the best story teller and writer ever in our existence!
I went to see IT at the midnight release and loved it so much (considering i have never seen the originals) and i really want to read the book. I dont really read too often so is it a good book to read for like a beginner reader and where about do you get the book with the teeth on the front?
+VUBBL3 I'm glad you loved the film! Definitely give the book a go, sometimes the pacing is a bit slow but it's overall a fantastic story. I got my copy at Indigo!
hi there again, got the book this Saturday and I swear I haven't put it down haha, it is such a great book so far and I am definitely not going to hesitate in buying more of Stephen Kings work. Thank you also for getting back to me and will definitely need to buy a few other copies :)
How many books are in the trilogy I can't wait until 2019 to see the next chapter so I just wanna read the books . Can any one explaine to me please ♡♡
I really appreciate your review! Not many people especially closer to my age have read or appreciate books like this so it's really fun that you do and to watch your review!! I need more book worm friends!
How many pages does yours have???mine has like 1,400 something pages the cover is different it has a picture of a clown with an evil grin with blood all over his mouth
+Luke It doesn't matter which one that you get, they all have the same content in them. There are so many covers because it's been out for a little while now and because of the film. The page count difference is only because of the font size and the height of each edition hah. You can get any edition you want hah:)
Just finding your channel and really loving this video. It was my last King book I read. I've wanted to get back into his stuff but It was so terrifying that I haven't continued yet. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Will you do a discussion video of IT as well? I feel like there are a few flaws in the book that are worth discussing as well. By and large though I agree with your review and rating. I have the same edition you do (cover buy) but the cover I read initially was kind of this ugly blue so I got rid of it after I read it.
I probably won't be doing a full discussion with spoilers on IT. I was gonna have them in this video but I felt this video would have been SO much longer hah.
Is this is the 1990 version of the book?? I found a book with the 2017 cover on it. So my question is, is it the same????? Will be really glad if someone answers this question
Excellent review. Absolutely my favorite book. You should check out summer of night from Dan Simmons. It's a great coming of age story about a group of kids, I think you'd enjoy it
My version is from 1986. It has a wonderful cover of the paper boat going into the gutter as well as a picture of Stephen King playing the guitar on the inside back cover. Also, the original price was $4.95
I much 0refer the original covers than the new ones including IT. I have the one with the cover from the 2017 movie but it pales in comparison to the 1986 cover
What were some of your favorite quotes? I think that was my favorite part about the book. The writing is incredible, and I have so many quotes from the book that I absolutely love.
Even though the book was over 1100 pages it still felt like it went by pretty quick for me. The length I thought was needed because I think the backstory parts were very good and needed.
I was so sad when it ended though hah:(
I'm on page 374 atm and my favourite up to now is Ben, he has so much depth to him and he is bullied for being basically a bit of a nerd which I can totally relate to from my own days in high school.
Big Boss Ben is the sweetest character of any King book I've read. He has such a big heart and honest-to-goodness love for Bev that it wrenches my heart.
Im on page 213 right now and my favourite is Ben too :)
I have the same edition, finished it a couple weeks ago. The looks I got when I had it in public...
haha samee XD
M8 that's nothing I read Mein Kampf and everyone was looking at me.
Angus Rhodes Damn son.
lmao my teacher owns a copy, and I found it XD
Arcadio Castellanoz Omg same with me XD
I brought this book to school and the weird looks I got... I just said I like to read okay....
haha I got weird looks too
How so? Why?
You probably got looks from people who never read a full book either in or out of a classroom lol
The Master Actor Honestly, don't dwell on what others think about you. They probably can't even read a basic book, they're unqualified to be regarded as intellectuals. If you love reading, it's a gift. Reading is a liable source of knowledge.
Why do people not like others reading it? What’s wrong with it?
challenge; take a shot everytime she says "IT"
+GoldGaming_64 please don't XD
Julia Sapphire XD
Rest in peace.
Ok but I'm underage so I'm just gonna take a shot of grape juice 😊
Hello alcohol poisoning
Your video convinced me to read the book IT by Stephen king and now Stephen king is my favorite author
Lol you said "shhh" exactly after my mom called me 🤣😂
oh dear XDD
what does that have to do with the video? u just make "look at me" comments cuz yer bored. talk about the subject of the vid instead.
lol
@@CinematicMaj what does your comment have to do with the video?!?!HUH!

My daughter read it when she was 9 :)
irene Rodriguez that’s cool
I started rooting for the clown after reading about Patrick Hockstetter
Agree, but when i finished the story i was like Fuck pennywise man 😭
Lmao and how Beverly was watching them setting their asses on fire
I like how the clown just doesn't care in the slightest about the morality of it's victims. Saint or monster, he eats them regardless.
Its about 1550 pages long in german, a thick epic masterpiece
+Mario Stoeffler omg haha hell yeaj
+Julia Sapphire yeah*
What how the story is 11 hundred pages long it can't be extended wtf
German just needs more words to describe the same as in english. I just bought "the stand" which is in german about 1800 pages long.
Mario Stoeffler what
I am reading IT right now and Georgie's death was sad and disturbing to me. I felt bad for the way he died. Now I am on chapter 2 of the book.
+Geometroo98 I know it was so sad:(( I love Georgie
I'm on chapter 9
Geometroo98 “A knob of bone.” From a line off the book I’m on page 21.
If that was sad and disturbing you got a long way to go mate :/
TheGuyWhoIsAustralian oh shit lol
Omg I finished IT the other day and I think it's my favourite King book, once again an amazing review!!
thanks so much :D I'm glad you loved IT!
How long did it take you to finish it?
Savanna Evans it took me a solid month which I don't regret as I thoroughly enjoyed it !!!! I recommend IT
Beep Beep T Mc
The Stand is my fave!!! Read it!!!
In 11/22/63, the protagonist meets the Loser's Club!
not got that yet, is it good?
DOCTORWHO ISGR8 yes it is
thanx Anthony Tosh 🙂
I may have just bumped that book up on my tbr now thank uuuu!!
Kentøn W. 11/22/63 Bevvie from the levvie and Richie from the ditchyy
Also, that film you were referring to with River Pheonix that you were unable to remember the title: it's "Stand By Me," which was based on a novella by Stephen King entitled "The Body." Great film, even greater read! Again- great video!
+Fred Lewis Ouu thank u💗💗
The only bad thing about this book is THAT scene 😬
agreed
YEAH, like no one told my 12 year old ass that they yk what. I'm 15 now and still ask myself why I read that.
@@exxiyya4855 wait! what scene?? Give me context at least(!?
@@estefi444 Uhm soo, they had a g*ngb*ng scene in the book.
@@exxiyya4855 im 13 should i read it? cuz i really want to and idk if its gonna traumatise me
It’s me from the future, and I heard that Andy Muschetti will be directing IT Chapter Two!
And we saw how that turned out...
@@charlielechance6481 it was fine. The adult arc, whether it's the book, the tv miniseries, or the movies, is just not as good as the kid arc, so of course the sequel was not gonna be as good as the first one.
Chapter 3 Beverly was terrifying. Hands down scariest thing I’ve ever read.
One of the most toxic relationships
I was really creeped out when pennywise visited Audra, it terrified me that it could get to you, anywhere or at anytime
Honestly, what horrified me the most is It showing up as the moon for Henry. Just imagine, he was tortured by It and the captured souls of his friends all these years...yeah, he's an ass, but still.
ben is my favourite character. i feel related to him. a fat boy, lack of self assurance but have a great mind and a gentle soul. the haiku he wrote for beverly is so beautiful and i love every single piece of king's description of ben's feeling for bev, simple and so true.

Fun fact: “That movie with River Phoenix” is actually adapted from a Stephen King story called The Body from Different Seasons.
Hello, Dwight.
Chris Hansen hello Chris Hansen with nightline
When I read I like to imagine the characters as I read so when I get the book I will imagine the 1990 cast rather than the new cast
+Seamus Finnegan that's nice lol
I recommend u reading 'The Woman in the Black' by Susan Hill. It's basically a Gothic horror book about a spectre which haunts a small english, causing children to die.
the book is on my shelf, but i'm kinda scared to read it, because it's so big
YASS girl you finally finished IT! Luv ya miss ya and you flawless! Just remember that EVERYTHING IS FINE
ily2222 EVERYTHING IS FINE
i live in the sewer and really identified with pennywise
Just started IT, and damn it's very graphic, when the guy gets thrown off that bridge and gets completely gutted was pretty terrifying
+Max Yoda ya it can be pretty graphic
I'm slowly getting back into reading as a sophmore college student; school had killed my passion for it before. Your channel is great & I'm glad to have found it!
+JusticeMan13 aw thank u! I really hope u get back into reading:)
Julia Sapphire Yo can I get a pin.
Ben and Beverly's love ,was described so beautifully in the book
is it just me that got emotionally and mentally drained reading this?? i cried at the end because i was so sad it was over
I understand the practicality behind picking up mass market paperbacks, but I always pick up Stephen King hardcovers whenever I can. Guy is going to go down in history as one of the greatest authors in American literature. Need them hardcovers to display and hand down decades from now.
Will you get bored reading it if you have watched the movie before?
Book is better. Lots of details skipped in the movie.
Is it worth a read if i’ve seen the new movie? I’m 13 and wasn’t scared by the movie, and i really want to read the book. How long did it take you to read the book? :)
+Lily Thorpe it's worth reading! The book took me about a month with reading other books along with it.
Lily Thorpe Took my just over a month if you read it at a steady pace not necessarily fast but not slow either
Julia Sapphire Thanks!
jack mckenzie Thanks!
I know I’m late to this comment, but I was wondering if you read it after and what you thought?😂 I’m reading it now and have about 300 pages left I think, and so far I’ve loved it
Book is so beautifully written I can't even express
+Biggie Nav true
Hats off to everyone who read this loooong book. I listened to the audiobook and it was 44 hours long lol. It took me 6 weeks to listen to it all. Brilliant story maybe one day I’ll try and read the book
Here’s a good tip! I read it and listened to the audiobook at the same time on 2.55x speed. So, I finished it in 5 days.
I Was having doubts about reading the book because of how much I loved the film but after watching this I am sold
This is my favorite book of all time. And my favorite character is Eddie. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! And fun fact, this book had about 400 pages cut before it was published. So it very well could have been a 1,500 page book. XD

I have this book on Audible so I listened to it whenever I was driving or working lmfao. I LOVED IT. Such a great story!
woo so glad you loved it!
The IT book is one of the best books I have ever read. This book had some much detail that when I started reading the first page I felt I had to continue to the point where I finished it in a month
How about Misery by Stephen King?
I haven't read or watched it
Julia Sapphire WHAT!!! You need to read Misery. IT IS TERRIFYING!!!
I’m reading that book after I finish IT.
how do you read that whole book
One page at a time 🙂
Is there a difference between the books? Because I bought a paper cover one on Amazon that hasn't arrived yet and the cover shows peenywise's arm (2017 version) handing a balloon to Gerorgie (2017). Is that different from the normal one?
Nope just different cover options, content is the same

You are right the 25th Anniversary Edition is expensive. Thanks for replying, it was very helpful
As a fellow bookworm, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Also, quick question: where is the link to the "IT," film review?
+Fred Lewis I will add it soon sorry🙃
Hi Julia! What version of IT is that? Is that the Scribler 2016 resissue? Thanks!
Hi, haha yes it is!!
Dude when you were talking about bringing the book to school, I related so much! I have the hardcover version and brought mine to school it was such a pain, many stares as well!
Hey where can you buy the book in Edmonton cause I so badly want to buy it cause I dont know where to find it
I feel bad because I started reading this a couple months ago, but only made it to the 50 page mark before I completely stopped. (It’s pretty confusing at first 😂) I might start over and read it again, who knows
ahhhhhhhh I didn't think there'd be spoilers I'm so dumbbbb
I bought the book the day that it came out and read the whole thing in one night. It really is one of King's best books.
+War Mongerel oh dang hah that's amazing
I found a book in my Junior High (middle school to you whippersnappers) library in 1978 called "Salem's Lot" and I was hooked on Stephen King for the next 40 years. I waited 30 years for him to finish "The Dark Tower". Sadly, I haven't read much of his new stuff because he can't seem to keep politics out of it.
Don't know if you've read "The Stand" yet, but it is, by far, the best of the best. It is an amazing book. Even the mini-series that they made of it wasn't too bad.
I have the movie-version one. Just finished reading it. So awesome! 😀
There was also a reference, that was easy to miss, to The Dead Zone where Bev claims daring the adult-losers' reunion that she heard of a crazy policeman from Castle Rock who killed a bunch girls, she was referring to Frank Dodd but didn't say his name, that's why it was easy to miss the reference.
+Nathan Beer I haven't read The Dead Zone so that's why haha. But thank you for pointing it out, it's so cool how King connects his books:)
if Patrick Hockstetter didnt give you nightmares.....
Those bugs that came out of the refrigerator sure did.
I'm only 90 pages in IT but it's a pretty good read. I got a bit of attention when I first brought it to school and this guy was joking, saying, "WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING YOURSELF!" because of how long it is!
Haha well I'm glad your liking it so far!
Does the book have the adults and the kids
yes!
I definitely feel more motivated to pick up IT now. I hope to start it this month and finish it late October or early November. I have the mass market paperback edition by the way, so I guess that's a good thing. Can't wait to see the movie!
Ouu I'm glad! Hope you enjoy the book and the film :))
Should I read It even though I already saw the film adaptation??
+John Paul Fernandez yess it's worth the read!:)
Okay I'll read it. Thanks!!
Have you read The Long Walk? It's really good. This was published by Stephen King and he used the surname Richard Bachman
+eneidamelis ruiz I haven't read it yet!
Yes, oh my gosh, I loved that book! Stephen King is really an amazing writer😅
is it chapter 1 and 2 in the same book?
yeah they're intermingled in the book and told kind of non-linearly
the 2017 film is awesome
What brand of color coded tabs did you use ANSWER ME I AM THINKING ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING
I get them from the dollar store

Girlllll I love seeing how many views this review is getting hahaha you posted it at the most perfect time hahaha
haha thanks XD
Hi
yep! omg
Hey Julia I am a kid and I have seen both of the it movies. I was wondering if the it book has any content that is more innopropriate than the movies.
Yes, near the end of the book.
Hi I really liked your video but I have a question I am 13 years old and I want to know if you would consider IT suitable for my age or if it is YA ?
aww thanks so much! um I'm gonna direct you to a video that I made about age restrictions and I talk about IT in that video// th-cam.com/video/iWmFhMlC2Lc/w-d-xo.html
Julia Sapphire thank you very much
Im only 12 and im read it currently !
I've only seen the miniseries but I'm very interested in reading the book, for obvious reasons. And by the way, who do you prefer? Tim curry or Bill Skarsgard?
+That guy who likes Legos :P Bill😀
Stand By Me was the movie you were thinking of with River Phoenix :)
+Chloe Denton haha thank you!
Hi Julia! I’m new here! So this is something you do with all your books? The tabbing?
+Johanna Miranda um sometimes I just tab whatever I find interesting or want to note. IT has a specifically colour coding system that I talk about in the video hah:)
Do you think Stephen King will write a sequel as an IT chapter 3 has been leaked?
Loved the review :). I just started getting really into King's books. Random question: Are you planning on tackling The Dark Tower series? Maybe I missed it in some of your videos but I'd love to know. I've just bought the 8 books box set along with The Stand and Salem's Lot (since I heard they're all connected to The Dark Tower. As well as Insomnia, Hearts of Atlantis, The Talisman books and It). Have you also read Salem's Lot? According to some that one was a lot creepier than It. But I love the story from all of them so far. Take care. And thanks for reading (if you did)!
+SleightMagician98 Thank you😊 I have read the first book in The Dark Tower series twice and I need to continue. Btw jealous that you got the box set because it's beautiful 😂 I have read Salems Lot but I found IT creepier ha. Thanks for commenting ::)
Julia Sapphire just saw your updated Stephen King collection. I'm jealous of how many copies you own of the Bill Hodges trilogy 😂. I'm missing the last one. Still haven't read the first two but now I'm really excited to.
I have read this for nearly all day now and I'm already on page 298 and so far is one of the best books I have ever read the characters are amazing alot of description I love the style of his writing. The topics in this book I found was definitely fear and probably some action as well. This book is so good I'm going to get if it bleeds his new book for my birthday and it already sounds amazing. I watched a video where Stephen king reads if it bleeds and it was so descriptive definitely the best story teller and writer ever in our existence!
I went to see IT at the midnight release and loved it so much (considering i have never seen the originals) and i really want to read the book. I dont really read too often so is it a good book to read for like a beginner reader and where about do you get the book with the teeth on the front?
+VUBBL3 I'm glad you loved the film! Definitely give the book a go, sometimes the pacing is a bit slow but it's overall a fantastic story. I got my copy at Indigo!
hi there again, got the book this Saturday and I swear I haven't put it down haha, it is such a great book so far and I am definitely not going to hesitate in buying more of Stephen Kings work. Thank you also for getting back to me and will definitely need to buy a few other copies :)
How many books are in the trilogy I can't wait until 2019 to see the next chapter so I just wanna read the books . Can any one explaine to me please ♡♡
+Ella Grace IT is a standalone. The movies are dividing it into two parts.
is the new version of IT different? book, plz reply thanx
the edition?? haah no it's just a change in covers XD
bought it
i prefer the new version
She was beautiful and pretty,
I ❤Julia sapphire
Idk if you will reply but what is the difference between a regular copy and a mass market paper back?
+C. D. Lawrence mass markets are tinier hah
I've read it four times can't get enough love it
I really appreciate your review! Not many people especially closer to my age have read or appreciate books like this so it's really fun that you do and to watch your review!! I need more book worm friends!
aw thank you
im getting this book in a couple days probably. probably take a year to read lol
+GoldGaming_64 ouu enjoy haha
Same
3 years later - you done?
@@na092 lol
How many pages does yours have???mine has like 1,400 something pages the cover is different it has a picture of a clown with an evil grin with blood all over his mouth
+ErnestGaming I believe mine has 1,150 pages
+Julia Sapphire why is there so many covers of the book IT? Which one should I get and is there a difference?
+Julia Sapphire and some of them have more pages I m just really confused on which one I should get
+Luke It doesn't matter which one that you get, they all have the same content in them. There are so many covers because it's been out for a little while now and because of the film. The page count difference is only because of the font size and the height of each edition hah. You can get any edition you want hah:)
+Julia Sapphire oh ok thx!
Just finding your channel and really loving this video. It was my last King book I read. I've wanted to get back into his stuff but It was so terrifying that I haven't continued yet. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
+The Book Pusher aw thanks so much💖💖
Everyone said the same thing to me. "Have you ever read IT?!" The minute you finish you totally understand though.
Great book. Ending was meh but it’s a King so ya
Where could you get those color code hex stickers? Thx!
Dollarama XD
I'm reading this right now on overdrive. OMG. It's so much! I've only read 10% of it today. 5 hours of reading lol. Ohhhhh man.
120 pages in 5 hours?
One question I have is how does it cause all the adults to forget the child murders while the kids do remember?
I get a hard time choosing between Mr.Mercedes and IT too
I saw IT (2017) on my birthday. I enjoyed the film, but I'm high-key ready to read the book.
yes read the book hah! happy belated birthday btw:)
Julia Sapphire Thank you!!!
The outsiders is my favorite book ever!! Im about to go to the book store and start reading IT
+Justin Vasquez woohoo!
Did you read the dead zone
Will you do a discussion video of IT as well? I feel like there are a few flaws in the book that are worth discussing as well. By and large though I agree with your review and rating. I have the same edition you do (cover buy) but the cover I read initially was kind of this ugly blue so I got rid of it after I read it.
I probably won't be doing a full discussion with spoilers on IT. I was gonna have them in this video but I felt this video would have been SO much longer hah.
Is this is the 1990 version of the book?? I found a book with the 2017 cover on it. So my question is, is it the same????? Will be really glad if someone answers this question
Lord of Memezz Addict lol you’ve probably have figured this out by now but it’s unabridged so it’s the same as the old edition just a new cover
Excellent review. Absolutely my favorite book. You should check out summer of night from Dan Simmons. It's a great coming of age story about a group of kids, I think you'd enjoy it
Thank you!! I'm glad you adored the book:))
@@JuliaSapphire I really love reading the book IT in eighth grade and it did scared me at night
My version is from 1986. It has a wonderful cover of the paper boat going into the gutter as well as a picture of Stephen King playing the guitar on the inside back cover. Also, the original price was $4.95
I much 0refer the original covers than the new ones including IT. I have the one with the cover from the 2017 movie but it pales in comparison to the 1986 cover
can you pleaseeee do a updated stephen king collection! You have so many more books!
+ThatKidReacts SOON ;)
+Julia Sapphire I'm so sorry if I'm annoying u or anything
What were some of your favorite quotes? I think that was my favorite part about the book. The writing is incredible, and I have so many quotes from the book that I absolutely love.
I feel like this book would probably take me like 3-4 months to read... But I definitely want to read it at some point!
Bruh it’s been over a year and I’m like 200 pages to the end, but it’s SOOO good
Do u Have a Link On Where I Can Get The Hard Cover
If You Do Thanks
Austin Aragon Barnes & Noble
You said he comes every twenty seven years so the next time he comes it'll be 2039
But he’s dead now?
So do you give The Shining a 5/5 stars or around a 4
