The Deity Book Club discussion

Group reads discussion on It

Can’t wait to start this

It's a big one! More than 1000 pages, 450.000 words...
I read it more than thirty years ago and still remember that it was scary.

This book got me completely off translations.
I read a news article when the Dutch translation came out. They had cut about half of it...
Right at the start little George has to go in the cellar to get some paraffin for a boat Bill is making for him.
In the original you get a whole description of his feelings and thoughts (more than one page) In the translation that was reduced to one sentence!
So from that time no more translations for me (except of course for Japanese or Italian... etc.)

41% through. Couldn’t resist starting this before my group read next month was so exited to read it so much is going on and I’m not even halfway yet, 10 unsolved cases (maybe more) and a killer clown on the loose

Arghhhhh don’t think I can see the movie now

I think this Pennywise is from the TV series.
Pretty scary!

My god the book is incredibly scary so far it’s worse than Gacy the clown

One of my memories is when I was brushing my teeth late at night after reading too long and staring at the drain and imagining hearing voices coming from the pipes...
I didn't sleep well that night ;-)

I’m not surprised ….

I'm not a horror fan, though ...

64% in very brutal middle part of the book loving the library scenes
