It Book Review


With a huge hit at cinemas "It" fever has definitely swept the entire globe. I decided that instead of being scared out my mind in the theatre that I would read the book so I received very few surprises while I was watching; therefore I wouldn't look so much like the scaredy cat I actually am.

It is pretty messed up, alot of extremely horrible things happen during this book but you will love it. Stephen King writes in such a way that draws the reader in, when I sat down to read a chapter I would put the book down three hours later, my day passed me by, and I would want to read more.

The book jumps between four timelines so it can be a bit hard to keep track of where you are at times if you are just beginning, during the two main timelines the same characters are used so it really does take some time to get the hang of things.

That really is the only bad thing I could say about it, the writing is fantastic, the pay off is worth it, and there are many more elements to the book that haven't made it into the TV film.

The pacing is great (as I've said I hardly put it down), the writing is exceptional, the characters are amazingly complex, and the scares are straight out of your own nightmares. Pennywise is a great villian, you can see his point of view but he is completely terrifying.

I would definitely recommend this book to adults; kids might be confused or petrified if they read it, but with the thrills and spills it may just become a favourite.


I mean who wouldn't want to be part of the Losers Club?

You'll float too!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

My week off!

             [Quickmeme] Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.                                   [USA Network] So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already. [Paramount Pictures] So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wa...

Daredevil Recap

Hopefully by now most of you will be sitting down to watch the second season of Daredevil, I on the other hand have to wait on a certain person getting home from his job before I can start watching. So in order to fill my time and maybe fill in some of the blanks you have, I decided to do a recap of season one. A season one SPOILER WARNING is in affect so if you haven't watched it then please do go back and take a look at it. In April 10th 2015 we got something spectacular, most of us didn't want to see Daredevil on any screen thanks to that movie we got back in 2003. I myself was talked into watching the series but I went into it on a clean slate and had zero expectations. Boy was I wrong. Episode 1: Into the Ring In a flashback we see a young Matt Murdock (Skylar Gaertner) saving a man from a car accident, it all goes south though when a batch of chemicals spill and they blind him. In present day Murdock (Charlie Cox), wears a black mask and is fighting four guy...
