Search - It

borrowed this book enjoyed it hated to give it up...

Great book! I couldn't wait to get to the end of it. I was intimidated at first because the size of it. It is a very lengthy read but with the way Stephen King's describes everything it makes you feel like you are there battling "It" along with them. I was a little dissapointed with what "It" actually turned out to be but each their own. If I would have read this when I was younger I probably would have had nightmares about clowns for weeks. :)

Stephen King can write a story in a genre that can (and has been) extremely tacky when done by other authors, but in this case comes off as an epic adventure with horrific undertones. The story begins with a group of children that are mere steps from becoming adults and progresses through middle age. They are the "good". The "evil" is an entity known as "IT" and "Pennywise" the clown. Pennywise is not what you think he is. As usual, Mr. King is the consumate storyteller who creates vivid and believable characters in a story that some call horror, but I call it a great story set in one of his favorite fictional locations, Derry, Maine.
