I hadn't read the first one, and I read this one directly. It was the time when the movie came out, and I wanted to see how the book would be because I considered the movie to be overrated. I didn't regret reading it at all. It keeps you fully engaged and eager to find out what will happen next. It's more of a children's adventure than a horror book, as most people believe. I recommend it to everyone.

P.S. The ending is amazing. Just read it.

Guys, if you read this, you will be amazed. The only book that truly scared me! However, you should know that if you haven't read Stephen King before, it will take some time to get used to his writing style. (Of course, I'm talking about both volumes together)

Excellent book! Definitely one of King's best and, by extension, one of the best I have read. If you are a fan of horror, get it!

The book didn't particularly impress me. Supposedly it's a thriller book, but it reminds me more of dark comedy.

At first, many may be afraid of it because of its size, but I consider it excellent in every sense. Personally, I watched the movies first and then read the books, but this doesn't matter much as the books have many more scenes than expected from the movies. My only complaint is that many English concepts or street names, etc. are translated into Greek, which personally tires me (e.g. main street, μείν στριτ), but otherwise everything is perfect.

The book absorbs you from the first pages. Very well written with shifts in time. I suggest reading the two books first and then watching the movies, as the books contain a lot of "material" that the movies don't show. The descriptive writing style can give you goosebumps at certain points!
