Stephen King delivers an excellent novel with his "It." The novel has two narratives running parallel throughout the book, a timeline for the main characters as children and a timeline as adults. The novel takes it time to fully develop the plot and characters in order to ensure that the reader is able to be fully immersed in the world. Well written, very imaginative, and of course creepy, "It" is a fantastic read.
HPB Staff ReviewThe terror, which would not end for another 28 years if it ever did end began, as far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain. Peering into a storm drain George Denbrough gives us our first glimpse of Pennywise the Dancing Clown who terrorizes the small town of Derry, Maine. In this town, the adults are indifferent to the strange disappearances going on. Seven children known as the Losers Club face off against IT and send it back into slumber for another twenty-eight years. As adults, they reunite one last time to defeat the creature and his deadlights. Stephen Kings novel is a coming of age story hidden inside the guise of a horror novel and I highly recommend it.
HPB Staff ReviewThis was an incredible find! It is a first edition printing in amazing condition, and Half Price Books sold it for a fraction of what others are selling it for.
It's incredible how King is able to invent such a rich, detailed, and intriguing world that stays this way throughout over eleven hundred pages! Truly one of the cornerstone novels of the horror genre. #SummerReading
The end blows. But it doesn't demerit the rest of a brilliantly written book that hooks you from the very beginning and scares the hell out of you. #SummerReading
