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.

challenge; take a shot everytime she says "IT"

I have the same edition, finished it a couple weeks ago. The looks I got when I had it in public...

Lol you said "shhh" exactly after my mom called me 🤣😂

I brought this book to school and the weird looks I got... I just said I like to read okay....

Your video convinced me to read the book IT by Stephen king and now Stephen king is my favorite author

Omg I finished IT the other day and I think it's my favourite King book, once again an amazing review!!

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

In 11/22/63, the protagonist meets the Loser's Club!

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!

I started rooting for the clown after reading about Patrick Hockstetter

Its about 1550 pages long in german, a thick epic masterpiece

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.

It’s me from the future, and I heard that Andy Muschetti will be directing IT Chapter Two!

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

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.

Just started IT, and damn it's very graphic, when the guy gets thrown off that bridge and gets completely gutted was pretty terrifying

Fun fact: “That movie with River Phoenix” is actually adapted from a Stephen King story called The Body from Different Seasons.

This is my first of your reviews. You've got a great personality! I'm subbed. Good luck 👍

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

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

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 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.

Chapter 3 Beverly was terrifying. Hands down scariest thing I’ve ever read.

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!

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 only bad thing about this book is THAT scene 😬

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.

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

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

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!

ahhhhhhhh I didn't think there'd be spoilers I'm so dumbbbb

Ben and Beverly's love ,was described so beautifully in 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

How about Misery by Stephen King?

Girlllll I love seeing how many views this review is getting hahaha you posted it at the most perfect time hahaha

im so glad you finished in time! you read a lot fast. I cant wait till I pick this up.

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!

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!

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.

I have the movie-version one. Just finished reading it. So awesome! 😀

Book is so beautifully written I can't even express

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

the 2017 film is awesome

I Was having doubts about reading the book because of how much I loved the film but after watching this I am sold

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!

As a fellow bookworm, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Also, quick question: where is the link to the "IT," film review?

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?

I’m waiting on the IT book I got and I decided to watch this because I’m bored

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

I've read it four times can't get enough love it

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.

Great review, love the simple review style. I read this book when I was 14 a bit young but I enjoyed it.

Gonna be ordering this lovely book very soon. Can't wait to begin reading IT, but should take me a while, which is another bonus aha. Lovely video by the way & keep it up Julia

I just came across your channel earlier today and saw this video. Very nice review. I saw the movie last Saturday and picked up the book earlier this week and I got the movie tie in edition that they just came out with for it. I liked that cover the best.

I get a hard time choosing between Mr.Mercedes and IT too

Enjoy watching 😇

I really like your style. I will now start to tab my books, what an idea.

The outsiders is my favorite book ever!! Im about to go to the book store and start reading IT

Have you read The Long Walk? It's really good. This was published by Stephen King and he used the surname Richard Bachman

I finally finished the book today and it was one heck of a journey. I read it alongside the audiobook read by Steven Weber and I finished it in about a week. I loved your review of this novel!

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 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!

Do you think Stephen King will write a sequel as an IT chapter 3 has been leaked?

I saw IT (2017) on my birthday. I enjoyed the film, but I'm high-key ready to read the book.

I love listening to you!! I can listen you all day and i love IT !

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!

Great video, I really enjoyed the book, how it exploited the issue of bullying and freindship. Also you have to love pennywise moments. Good review!

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.

Will you be reading and reviewing, The Drawing of the Three, the 2nd book of the Dark tower?

can you pleaseeee do a updated stephen king collection! You have so many more books!

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.

Does anyone know by any chances the page/chapter where Mike Hanlon says/thinks that Pennywise is It's favorite form? That would be very helpful for me😁😙

Stand By Me was the movie you were thinking of with River Phoenix :)

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!

Yay I'm glad you finished 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

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

please can you do updated stephen king book collection

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.

Everyone said the same thing to me. "Have you ever read IT?!" The minute you finish you totally understand though.

I already watched the first chapter and I’m already hooked into the book

We all float down here

Did you read the dead zone

Thank you for sharing your POV on this book! I just bought this book today.

finnaly just ordered it online. cant wait

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 have the 2017 movie edition of the book, same size and thickness as your edition, so when my mom saw it she was incredulous at why I picked that edition. Lol. I just finished reading it tonight actually. Sooo good!

What brand of color coded tabs did you use ANSWER ME I AM THINKING ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING

I’ve got the book with the 2017 penny wise giving Georgie a red balloon cover

I’ve been waiting for this review. My all time fav book. The movie really did a great job showing this masterpiece (the 2017 movie of course)

I've been working on this book for years. Kindle Edition, bought it just before the 2017 It: Chapter One came out (the cover updates from time to time for the latest movie tie-in)... I agree, the pacing and the length is intense! I love Mr. Mercedes, I came to it rediscovering Stephen King after reading Doctor Sleep, which I saw at my local Costco store (read Doctor Sleep digital version than the excerpt of Mr. Mercedes and fell in love). I was like "Stephen King's first hard-boiled detective novel!" this is the coolest, where does it come from? Then you see some of its influences in the law enforcement characters when you read IT.

Idk if you will reply but what is the difference between a regular copy and a mass market paper back?

im getting this book in a couple days probably. probably take a year to read lol

You said he comes every twenty seven years so the next time he comes it'll be 2039

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

Great Review!!Im getting the book for my Birthday!!

She was beautiful and pretty, I ❤Julia sapphire
