the only clown here is me reading thick books in the exam session

Some parts were truly creepy at first and initially, as often happens with King, I couldn't put it down. But then, as often happens with King, it hits a brick wall and becomes so over-long and has so many unnecessary elements that get in the way of the main story that it becomes a bloated, endless chore to finish. People often say they hate the ending of this book...I did not hate it or love it. I had checked out at that point and simply wanted it to be over no matter who lived or died or whethe...

5/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺It took me SO long to finish this monster book that I’ve been carrying around in my backpack for the past six months in every single underground or train ride, but I finally DID IT! I FINISHED IT, YAY ME.Stephen King never stops to amaze me with his brilliant mind and fabulous stories. I feel like his mind is always restless, always in a good mood to find the worst ways possible to scare the soul out of me. The King of Horror Stephen King is. No...

I'm not easily scared these days. As a grown woman, the only thing that brings the feeling of dread into my heart is the constant pinging of new work emails requiring my attention when I'm at home, but there was a time when I was a shy, delicate, sweet little girl who was scared of my own shadow.Proof: not exactly the terror you see haunting the hallowed halls of Goodreads handing out 1 stars like they're candy these days.It wasn't until I was around 20 that I outgrew my fear of scary creatures

Throughout the book, I was going to give it 4 stars. It was suspenseful, there was a sense of dread with some truly scary scenes. King is very good at describing how children would think and make us feel their fears. It was really long with A LOT of descriptions but it was still very enjoyable.The ending totally ruined it for me...Review: https://youtu.be/TkxckLFcKYE(view spoiler)[What the hell was that with the prepubescent gang-bang...

”For 27 years, I dreamt of you. I missed you. I craved you.”-Pennywise, IT Last night, I watched IT: Chapter 2. And holy sh*t, you guys. I did not expect the horror, sadness and raw emotion this movie gave me. I have so many thoughts and feelings to share so this review might will definitely be an unorganized blob of thoughts. It will still be fun, though.PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVIEW HEAD WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR IT: CHAPTER 2! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK![Art by 800LBProductions] I’d

Re-read update - April 2017:"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts"I find it appropriate that I first read this between the ages of 12 and 15 and now I re-read at 39. This is pretty close to the ages of the characters past and present in this book. That was not intentional, but pretty cool!I didn't remember much more than the basics after all these years, but even with that, my original review below stands.What I will add is that this book is much more dark,...

IT focuses on a group of children, the Loser's Club, as they try to overcome evil and face their biggest fears in order to do so.Excuse me while I curl up into a ball and bawl my eyes out... IT was my first King and it really was what got me hooked onto

You can't be clowning about IT!!! THOSE TERRIFYING CLOWNS It was easier to be brave when you were someone else.It's kinda..."funny" how such characters, the clowns, that they are supposed to make us laugh, and not matter that, you can find just too much examples of "evil clowns", many from fantasy but even at least one from horrific reality, that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley...or any place at all!!!The Joker, Stitches, Homie from The Simpsons, Punchinello from Dean Koontz's Li

★★★★★ /5This was a ride!This is a huge book, but if you consider to read it, it is definitely worth your time.Of course, it is very well written with a lot of description, which was sometimes hard to go through, but it didn’t ruin the experience. The story itself is layered and complex and everything happens for a reason and that is very important for a book like this to have that. It is definitely an interesting and captivating story.Two stories (timelines) compliment each other and it isn’t ha...

It´s not as if it wasn´t just an old Lovecraftian big ones cosmic horror consuming the flesh of mind opened, quirky, annoying (thanks for that in this case), kids but there is so much more sociocultural evolution, big history, the interconnection between childhood trauma and adult issues, banality of evil, small town horrors, and hidden depths in this epic world literature supernova overkill. But let´s look at its´ parts, vivisecting it while it´s still alive, begging, and screaming, one after t...

A book that I consider a modern classic of the horror genre; a book in 2017 that went on to became a part of our global culture as a result of the latest movie version. Seven children spend a terrifying summer together in their home town of Derry, a summer that was devastating to their lives and their community, yet also supposedly completely unforgettable - yet nearly all of them forgot!27 years later, having left Derry and that entire summer's memories behind, they start feeling the call to re...
