I haven't read very many King books but this one is a book that has always made me want to pick it up. I think I have only hesitating because it is so long.

There was so much history and backstory, I know that's a think King does in a lot of his books but this could have easily been 600 pages or less. I wanted more about IT but the book wasn't even that scary in my opinion. I'm so glad I read it because it was good, it just didn't live up to my expectations.Jenna- JK I'm Exploringhttp://jkimexploring.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-33239737582324999202017-05-23T07:07:42.705-06:002017-05-23T07:07:42.705-06:00King’s books do tend to be huge.

When he referred to the creature, he often wrote “IT” in all caps or put it in italics.

Like, I really like the sound of it (and a lot of his books, really) but I know I will get stabby if someone tries to make me read 1100 pages of ANYTHING, and has it only count as one Goodreads Challenge book ;) And your dog DOES look like he was the best ever ♥ Great review!

I hate giant spiders and love all kinds of monsters so straight away this book appealed to me. Ben was also my favourite character maybe because of his love of books and the library which was me as a kid. I love this one and it's my favourite Stephen King. Can't wait for the film! chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
