Liz Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Right I have only got 400 pages left of IT! The end is near, then. Are you glad you stuck with it? Quote
Nici Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 The end is near, then. Are you glad you stuck with it? Absolutely! It has turned out to be a real page turner!!! Quote
Weave Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 IT is a big read but so worth it Nic, I am glad you are enjoying it. You have a great list there, I have read some of the Stephen Kings, I am looking forward to reading your thoughts Nic x Quote
Nici Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 My list has changed again as i got a couple of new books today! Quote
Nici Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 nici 76 i hope this doesn't sound rude but why don't you go offline and read the book. Huh? Quote
Michelle Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 nici 76 i hope this doesn't sound rude but why don't you go offline and read the book. Actually, that does sound rude! If we all spent our time offline reading, this lovely forum wouldn't exist! Quote
Nici Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 I have decided that I should write the blurb about IT by Stephen King after going on about it for so long! To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing...... The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as it stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

Weave Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Me again Nici... IT is such a cool book and very freaky, I had a bit of a moment because of Pennywise, really scared me x Quote
Nici Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 Hello you again! I will never be able to look at clowns in the same way again... 300 pages left! Quote
Weave Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Hello you again! I will never be able to look at clowns in the same way again... 300 pages left! I know that familiar, I thought I saw Pennywise outside a train station, I was really freaked out, it was late at night though and I was reading 'IT' loads x Quote
Nici Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 Now that I am coming to end of IT, I now have a bit of a dilema, I can't decide whether to read Raven Hart - Vampires Seduction or Maggie O'Farrell - The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. Decisions decisions! Quote
Weave Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Now that I am coming to end of IT, I now have a bit of a dilema, I can't decide whether to read Raven Hart - Vampires Seduction or Maggie O'Farrell - The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. Decisions decisions! I would go with 'The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox' by Maggie O'Farrell. because I am starting it too and looking forward to discussing it with all of the gang! Quote
JudyB Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I would go with 'The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox' by Maggie O'Farrell. because I am starting it too and looking forward to discussing it with all of the gang! Yes it's next on my list too! Quote
Nici Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 Maggie O'Farrell - The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox it is then! Thanks! Quote
Nici Posted May 5, 2007 Author Posted May 5, 2007 Horray! I have finished IT, I am now starting The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. I am looking forward to joining in the discussions at last! List updated. Quote
happyanddandy Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Maggie O'Farrell - The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox it is then! Thanks! You are in for a treat!! Quote
Nici Posted May 5, 2007 Author Posted May 5, 2007 You are in for a treat!! That's what spurred me on to finish IT, it is getting such good reviews that I just couldn't wait to read it! And it's nice to see quite a big type as well compared to IT which was tiny! Quote
Liz Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Well done for finishing IT. It's a book I would like to tackle sometime. It seems as though it's a book worth ploughing through. Quote
Nici Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 It is definately a good book, but it does require 100% attention, which is where i was struggling. I am glad I read it too the end, although clowns now scare me! I'm looking forward to having a few "easy" reads now before I tackle The Stand! Quote
JudyB Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 Hope you enjoy The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox - just finished it today - thought provoking and sad. A good read! Quote
