BOOYAH!!! Took me a shit load of years but i finally got through this book..RTC :)

Cracks Knuckles* It's Time
First off, i am so absolutely glad that this wasn't the first Stephen King novel i picked up. If it had, i'm almost certain i wouldn't have gone close to any of his books again except on a dare. Oh don't get me wrong, the story itself when King decides to actually write the story and stop filling the pages with frankly shit load of unnessary stuff is brilliant.( There's something about Kids fighting monsters that Adults can't see that will always be brilliant.)

The problem with this book? King's inability to Keep It Simple, his ambigous explanation for everything that happened really!! I mean the turtle, going into the deadlights, the other being that we don't know about but has been there before IT and the turtle? everytime Bill said"he thrusts his fist against the post and still insists he sees ghosts", everytime you'd read a line and there'd be another thought in italics under and you're wondering who? what? do they have split personalities?Am i reading two stories??? WTF dude!! Sigh*
Don't get me wrong it's not like exciting things didn't happen, but for the most part you get an exciting part, the story starts happpening and then for some weird reason you start getting some existential kind of reasoning going along with the plot:
Bill: What are you
Turtle: I am the turtle son. I made the universe but please don't blame me for it; I had a bellyache
Me: TF???
Bill: Help me! Please help me
Turtle: I take no stand in these matters
Me: seriously WTF???
Bill: My brother
Turtle: has his own place in the macroverse; energy is eternal, as even a child such as yourself must understand
Bill thinking: and Bill understood somehow that there was yet Another, and that Final Other dwelt in a void beyond this one. The Final Other was perhaps the creator of the Turtle, which only watched and IT which only ate. This Other was a force beyond the universe, a power beyond all other power, the author of all there was
Me: (having bible flash backs now)


And this is the ultimate problem i have with authors that create these sort of monsters, they can't explain it.. There's just some weak ass type of attempt to try and satisfy the reader's curiousity for why.

The end of the book was bittersweet though..
p.s: so since the movie is coming out in September this year, i've been speculating on parts that have a high probability of not making it into the movies. so far i've got two:
1. Every time Henry or his father and every other character but especially those two say nigger.
2. (view spoiler)[Beverley sleeping with all the boys in the Losers club ( i never did understand why they had to have sex to do away with their fear, although now that i think about it, all of them had gone through and defeated some sort of fear and Bev's had been sex i guess, but why then?)
