Summary: Stephen King's Best Work of Fiction
Review: It is by far Stephen King's best work of fiction. This book has everything anyone could want in a book contained within its pages, from a love story, to gore, to humor and philosophical musings. This is definitely Stephen King's best work. It focuses on a group of 7 kids who fight a monster and then have to fight the same monster again 27 years later.

Summary: A good scary book
Review: One of if not the best pure scary books of all times. Where do you turn and who do you turn to? Keeps you on your feet and running to check what is under the bed and in the closet. Not for the faint at heart.

Summary: Good But Too Long
Review: I liked the book "IT" a lot and their are many good parts. Still, this book is too long and it's not that I can't like long books because I loved "The Stand" complete and uncut. I stopped reading the book halfway through because of boredom. About a year later I picked it up and finished IT. Much of the middle section is boring and pointless. This book could have been much better if a hundred pages smaller.

Still, I did finish the book and it was worth it. The end is good and the events leading up to the end are great. Henry Bowers was a very interesting characters, as well as others. The rock fight is the best part of this book and is one of those scenes that keep you reading. All in all a good book, but it could have been great if some of the pointless dribble in parts was eliminated.

Summary: Stephen King At His Best
Review: Some of us have seen the movie and thought, "it's ok, a little cornball." Some of us have read this book and said, "but you don't understand, IT is brilliant!" This was the first book I have read by King. I think that it is still his longest book, but no information or one word can be taken away, or it will lose it's genius. IT, in my opinion is his scariest book. I love the way Stephen King creates a stroy set mainly in the 50's and the 80's, and his illusion of time disolves into each of the two periods and they become almost one. This book is magic!

Summary: Still the Champ
Review: I read this book when I was in college, probably around 1988. Although I have read numerous books since, by many authors (Grisham, DeMille, Patterson, Cornwell, Clancy) and on various subjects, nothing has topped this masterpiece. Few books stay with you like this one. Not just because of the horror, but because of King's ability to make you feel like you are part of the group of seven main characters. His detail is so astounding, you catch yourself wondering about these people as if they are real. Normally, in a book with in excess of 1000 pages, you would expect some flat spots, but this book keeps you turning the pages all the way to the end. I wasn't totally thrilled with the description of the creature at the end of the book, but in King's defense, in many of his books his writing is so brilliant, that no ending/villain/creature could possibly live up to the expectations created by the story. I plan to read it again soon. A comment on the TV miniseries: Although it was entertaining, it does NOT do this book justice. I would recommend this book to anybody...even those readers who are not fans of the horror genre.

Summary: SO much more than monsters!
Review: IT is, without a doubt, one of Stephen King's finer novels. The first King novel I ever read was CUJO; the novel that got me hooked on his writing was IT.

Unfortunately, many reviewers and readers have shunned King's work because of the genre in which he first published -- horror. Don't misunderstand me: IT is a terrifying novel that deals with all manner of monsters, from sewer-dwelling maniac clowns to elephant-sized spiders. But stopping with the monsters of IT would be akin to stopping with the elves of Tolkien. Both King and Tolkien understand that the struggle's the thing which makes the story, and on that scale, I'd say that IT fares well indeed.

This is the story of seven friends who, for various reasons, find themselves outcasts among their peers. They form a bond of friendship which holds true as they discover more and more about the evil force lurking in their hometown, a force that has begun to rise from its slumber to kill and feed. But IT also follows these friends as adults, forced to remember this evil they've forgotten and to return to do battle again, even though childhood and its curious strengths seem to have disappeared.

I have enjoyed this book immensely each time I've read it, and I'm now on my first hardcover edition after reading two paperbacks to shreds. IT is one of the books I imagine I will cherish my entire life, and I think you will, too.

Summary: IT is one of the best
Review: STephen King takes over the small town of Derry. He cordones off sanity for the duration of a few kids innocence. Trial strikes in the form of evil incarnate. The plot of it is one of King's best. He sculpts good v evil every time with the perfect clay. It is hard to withstand the draw of voyerism to see into the post innocent, for the most part, post Derry chapter of these kids' (now adults)lives. This book is SCARY. Forget what you've heard and forget what you've seen edited on the Superstation. IT is a pants-wetter. In the depth of night, reading with just a singular light in the house, you will shiver, and inevitably you will have to take a restroom break. My suggestion to you is bring a ward of evil along. Be wary when you lift the toilet seat. Boo, a real frightfest.

Summary: I'd give it a 100stars if i could...
Review: Im 14, and after recently reading this ingenious masterpiece, i find myself dumbfounded. Stephen King has the mind of a man beyond brilliance. The talent displayed by this man was not meant to be put on this earth, toward any one person.

IT brings back that elemental fear of the monster in the closet. I have a very vivdly active imagination, and due to this fact, the book absolutely horrified me.

During the course of reading this book, i often left the closet light on, and the closet door open, as i slept. I kept the book outside of my rom at all times,and swore that (as i lay in bed unable too sleep) the next day, i would take a pack of matches too it. But somehow, the same force that brought the lucky seven back to derry, brought me back to derry as well.

Every book has it's point of no return page, It as w/ all stephen king books, boasts this to be page three.

This book comes higly recommended by me, and many others, i love to talk, about it, please email me at [e-mail] If u happen to have MSN messenger, my screen name is my email address, or aol messenger, it's chicago turtle.
