Since I've finished the book, a question wuz buggin' me: could Evie Black's plan work? Could women rebuild society an' create a civilized world on their own, wit' their bodies still stuck in the world left behind? The answer is a definite "no", an' I can tell you, why. - First of all, Our Place...

You're forgetting something. No wonder the author described "Our Place" as a desolated, ruined world - the hidden message is that civilization requires men to some degree to maintain and progress. Without men, and their role in society, civilization could never reach this level. Just think 'bout...

I know it's fiction, but Mr. King was pretty accurate in geographical means in other novels, this is the only one in which I noticed that things don't really add up. Oh well...soooo could she cover at least 200 kilometres on foot, or it was more/less?

After readin' the novel for the gazillion times, I was wonderin', exactly how far Trisha have ventured into the forest, and how much distance did she cover on her small little feet (including the start of the family trip). Judgin' from that she spent 9 days in the woods, an' managed to keep at...

Well Regin, according to the book, It feeds on people - ye, literally, and "fear spices the meat", thus, making human flesh tastier. Or at least this is what I make out of It's own thoughts when It thinks out loud for the reader towards the end of the second tome. It is also described that It is...

In the first interlude, it is revealed that Derry was named after the Ireland county of the same name. This is the most likely explaination.

I never really saw It as insane at all :) there are a couple of insane characters in the book - Butch, Henry, Patrick, and a lot more - but It doesn't show signs of insanity like them. In fact, It even states itself that its brain embraces the whole America, being so smart. After all, It can...

A sequel would be very nice, but the problem is, there are no loose ends left, nothing from which the new story would start. It is dead, the Losers forgot all about each other (except Ben and Beverly of course), two of them died, Derry's better part is collapsed, and even if Ben DID miss one of...

I never seemed to understand the role of these high casualties when It goes to sleep or when It returns. Seeing how It never does anything without a good reason and having an actual purpose, these just seem to be pointless massacres. It never does these personal, so no meat to eat, or fear to...

Yes, well...yes. I do analyse the creature scientifically :) Which is quite interesting, since I do believe in monsters, fairy-tales and I do dabble in the flights of fantasy very often, yet, I somehow feel that It's nature and abilities can be described scientifically, since It is not...

You're right about It might have been lying to Beverly, though, partially It was right. The balloons stated that It came from outer space...and It did indeed. Being the last of a dying species must also be true (apart from It's hatchlings), otherwise the Turtle would warn the Losers about this...

Yesh, I was referring to that if It would have been in the cellar, that could only happen if It breaks one of the waterpipes open to exit. And that would not go unnoticed, especially by Zack, who actually works at the Water Company of Derry. Even though It could teleport itself to limited...

It perplexes me however, how come It didn't unleash the remaining winged leeches on Beverly. Apart from the slingshot and a few ball-bearings, she couldn't ward off the attack of a full swarm of them. One of them actually scored a hit on Bev, and even though she managed to mince the second one...

Well, it took me more than a thousand re-reads, and several analysis periods, carefully contemplating on what It did in the book and what It should have done instead, this is where my conclusion comes from :) Believe you me, I considered this reply very carefully, since as you skillfully pointed...

I wouldn't watch the new movie until part 2 is done. I'm still groping to the hope they WILL include the yummy stuff that was missin' from the previous movie, like Patrick's death, or Eddie's encounters in 29 Neibolt Street and the Tracker Brothers baseball course. I remember I sorta liked the...

Well, Victor and Belchy were the final victims of the 1958 killing spree, so Eddie was right in this. Before that, Jimmy Cullum and Patrick Hockstetter were killed. Peter Gordon, Moose Sadler, Gard Jagermeyer and the others must have survived however.

The Wiki makes a very good overview on It's abilities and nature, so I firmly believe we can treat the things written there as a useful creature analysis. It is a very powerful and nasty creature, but is far from being almighty, and has its limits. Ye, It can shapeshift with ease, but is prone...

Well...my guess is, Al Marsh was not actually It, but rather mind-controlled by It to do its dirty work. And this time, It was really thinking strategically - instead of eerie and scarry monsters, It decided on a more sophiscated, tactical approach, knowing that Beverly will not harm her own...

I don't think It was down in "ze basementz". There were no manholes, canal, or drain where It could come out from, so Georgie was completely alone down there. This is clearly stated when the Losers confront It in 29 Neibolt Street, they romp the whole place, only to find It in the bathroom, from...

- Dandelo cannot be the same species as It, since It stated to Beverly that he was the last survivor from a dying planet. So this is a contradiction. - I've read on the Wiki that many kid characters are labelled as "dead" (for instance, Peter Gordon, Gard Jagemayer and such), saying It got...
