I watched the It movie on opening day. Funny story, I went about two hours early with my friend to make sure we got good seats. The theatre ended up not even being full. I mean, it was a four o'clock showtime, but it was opening day so it should have been really busy. I guess it was better that it wasn't. I also have to mention, some lady brought her small children to see this movie. This movie was terrifying and I bet her children will be scarred for life. I just wanted to mention that. It was a wild movie-going experience.
I should also note that this tag wasn't originally in English, I had to translate it from French and while I speak some French I am not the best at it so some of the questions may be wrong. I just thought you should be aware of that before hand. Disclaimer.
How many Stephen King books do you own?
9
How did you discover this author?
The movie The Shining, I was really into horror movies at the time.
What is the first book you read by him?
The Shining, it's probably Stephen King's most recognized work as it is also an incredibly famous movie, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that this is the first one to catch my eye.
How long have you been a fan?
For about five years now.
What is your favorite book? Who made you most afraid?
(I was going to use a picture of the book cover, but then I came across this badass picture and decided to use it instead. When I clicked on the photo it linked back to the Goodreads page so I don't actually know who made this, but I totally commend them for making such an awesome poster.)
My Favorite book as of now is Doctor Sleep.
The character who scares me the most is Pennywise the Clown. I’m terrified of clowns.
Which book did you like least?
Cell, it took me quite a while to get through this one, and even when I was reading it, it was more like skim reading because I didn't care.
Do you have any Stephen King books in your TBR pile that you have not read yet?
Four: Finders Keepers, End of Watch, Under the Dome, and It.
What is your favorite new book?
I feel like I may not have translated this question correctly, but I’ll give it a go. I’m assuming this means, what is a newer book that I love, and if I’m not counting Doctor Sleep, then I would have to go with Mr. Mercedes. It was such a good book.
What do you like most in the style of this author?
His books always feel very nostalgic, no matter if they are scary or just about crime, they have this coming of age type feel that I love.
What do you think of adaptations? What is your favorite?
I for the most part really enjoy the adaptations, some could be better, but there are definitely some amazing ones out there like Stand By Me and the Shawshank Redemption that are pretty amazing. My favorite would have to be the original It mini series. The new It movie was a lot better in quality than the mini series, the mini series had a perfect mix of horror and the coming of age feeling that is attributed with a lot of Stephen King's work and I love it.
We all float down here.
