May be one of the best novels about childhood ever written.

May be one of the best novels about childhood ever written.

How funny that he named it, IT. Because what is it? Is he referring to the monster, as all the covers would have you believe? Or something more sublime, more ephemeral, more fleeting- the inevitable loss of our innocence and youth.

Thank you, Mr king for reminding me that I lived another life when I was 11.

Great for my commute

Moves rapidly. Fun characters.

The only criticism is that the protagonist is basically a female version of the Martian protagonist, but that's hardly a fault - more like a feature.

Fascinating and powerful

Revisado: 11-05-17

Like a mystery story solved over centuries.

As a cancer survivor I was particularly interested in Thomas Hodgkins and I wasn't disappointed...but Hodgkins is one of many fascinating people and amazing sub-stories within the greater story of the war on the disease that isn't really a disease at all.

There's a slower section about 70% through on public policy that didn't grip me, but still amazing nevertheless.

fascinating

Revisado: 08-05-17

really interesting. it's really two books...a biography of LRH and a description of Scientology.

not as much in the daily lives of 'regular' Scientology members, as i'd like but they are probably prevented from discussing it with anyone.

truth is stranger than fiction.

dark, thoughtful, experiential

Revisado: 08-05-17

beautifully written and well narrarated. was told it was too dark and depressing. my book club chose it before I joined and I always wanted to read it.

I liked it a lot. yes, dark. yes, very hard, cold. but also inspiring. a man and his young boy..their dialogue is so well done by the narrator...amazing.

also, a relatively quick one.

Volume, volume, volume.

Would you try another book from Frances Vick and/or Katherine Manners?

Yes.

What did you like best about this story?

The fact that at the end, everything is wrapped up.

Would you be willing to try another one of Katherine Manners’s performances?

If she could keep her volume steady yes. Otherwise, I'd rather eat broken glass.

learn about rural america through one mans story

i liked it, but...

got a bit bored with too many family details.

plus, he narrates it himself and he's not the best narrator.

nevertheless, very informative and entertaining.

the author has a good story to tell.

brainy, emotive sci fi

Revisado: 05-02-17

beautifully written and acted. I only wish the author had resolved the plot instead of leaving it as a thought piece.

I couldn't get into it.

Narrator is not my type. The story just didn't grab me. I started it twice.
