One of the scariest books I've ever read. Stephen King is simply, remarkable!
A story of seven children confronted by evil beyond imagining, It is one novel that would make sleeping at night a really scary adventure.
In the town of Derry, Maine there is a horror that only seven children knows about. Children were being killed and mutilated and the people of Derry thought that a serial killer was on the loose but only the members of the Losers Club (Bill Denbrough, Eddie Kaspbrak, Beverly Morgan, Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier, Stan Uris, and Mike Hanlon) knows the truth.
Only the children knows about Pennywise the clown and went on to battle with the malevolent clown the many evil disguises of his. In a battle they had won with help of the turtle, the Losers club promised that when IT returns they go back to Derry and fight it again.
And when it returns, it haunted them one by one promising that none of them will livc. Will they survive?
It, like most of Stephen King's novels, was elaborately and excellently written. The plot was complicated but easily understood. The scenes are simplistic and harmless enough yet could bring chills in your bones when you try and close your eyes.
What makes it chilling is the way it is written itself. Stephen King is a master of description and the scenes are vividly descripted enough that reading IT could make you feel like you are in Derry and chased by Pennywise and his many guises. Reading IT is not scary as it is but when you put down the book and let the words sink in to your system, that's when Pennywise comes in.
IT is definitely one King's best novel.
