Summary: By far, Stephen King's best yet!
Review: "It" is probably the greatest book that I have ever read. It may be long, but it's worth every page to read it. It focuses around seven pre-teens in the 1950's, and switches back and forth between their childhood, and then their adult reunion in 1985. The characters are so realistic you close the book feeling like you know them, or at least met them before. King does an excellent job of plot and character development, and the book ends on a sad, but refreshing note. (King seems to do that a lot) He also does what he does best: Ties in little things from the beginning that you hardly remember until the end, when they are used again. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, and I can't wait to read it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE IT A MILLION STARS!
Review: I WOULD! I REALLY WOULD! STEPHEN KING IS DEFINATELY THE BEST AUTHOR THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN AND IT IS BY FAR HIS CROWNING ACHEVEMENT! IT TOOK ME 1 1/2 YEARS TO READ THE WHOLE BOOK AND BOY HAVE I HAD NIGHTMARES SINCE! I RECENTLY SAW THE MOVIE IT AND IT WAS OKAY BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE VIVID ADRENILEN RUSH YOU GET WHEN YOU OPEN UP IT AND READ THE FIRST CHAPTER. I TELL YA, WHEN I READ THE FIRST CHAPTER OF IT I SAID "THE HECK WITH THE OTHER BOOK I'M READING! I'M GONNA READ IT NO MATTER WHAT!" MY DAD GOT IT FOR ME ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND I HADEN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT UNTILL I READ THE FIRST CHAPTER AND AFTER THAT I COULDN'T STOP! IT WAS AMAZING! BUY IT NO MATTER WHAT AND THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW MUCH I LOVED IT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FIRST YOU READ, THEN YOU DIGEST, THEN YOU ENJOY
Review: It's been a while since I've read this book, but I do remember that there were very few parts that got my senses reeling ON THE SPOT. Just like you can't expect to be drunk immediately after swilling down a beer in 15 seconds or less, you have to finish the book and process it first and then the effects take place. And, boy howdy, does this book have EFFECTS once you've digested them! By the way, if they HAD to do a miniseries (which was awful), they should have made it a four or five episode deal like "The Stand", as there were too many vitally important details cut out of the one they DID make, thus ruining it for those kinds of people who decide on whether or not to read a book by its movie. Fortunately, I wasn't one of those people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Stephen King!
Review: I've been a big Stephen King fan for a number of years and have read a majority of his novels. IT! was the scariest I've read to date! I caution anyone who picks up this title not to read it while alone! This is Stephen King at his best-character and plot development are paced just right and the horror is mixed in at the perfect times!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can't be careful on a skateboard, man
Review: This is my all time favorite King book (and the very first one I ever read) I would say that my only problem with it is that he does seem to go overboard w/the descriptions, but it's totally understandable and it works, because the images of the characters and of Derry are so crystal clear and so realistic that it's frightening. Very scary (read it in one night-- couldn't put it down) The movie doesn't do it justice at all. All hail the King of Horror!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Without doubt the most scariest King Book
Review: This book is not just horror (and the scary parts are really scary ) but it's a book about the pains of growing up. The friendships that you make when you are a child, the bonds that are made that you never forget. It's about how faced with the epitomy of pure evil good will triumph in the end. This book tells the story of several children growing up in Maine who stumble on to an unimaginable evil that is taking the lives of children in the area. Togther they face up to the evil and promise that if ever IT returns they will reunite to face up to the evil again. The book is well structured, often running two stories parralle with each other. Those being what the children went through years ago and what they are going through now. The story builds at a very slow but deliberate speed and the characters also build nicely. The book certainly has more character than horror but at now time does it ever suffer for it. The reader will find themselves becoming attached to the caharcters and will no doubt relate to the growing pains of childhood and the joys of childhood. The books limited horror is sparse but very scary with some of the most scariest scenes ever committed to paper. In It King has reaffirmed his position as the worlds most versatile author and not just an horror author. Any but considering to read King should start with It and be pulled in by its magic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: King's best ever!!
Review: This book was the scariest, most well developed story that King has ever written. The plot and characters were well developed, and Pennywise was very scary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must reader!!!
Review: This was the scariest, most well developed story King has ever written. I just could not put the book down! Pennywise the clown is one of the scariest characters I have ever seen in a horror story. The movie was also of 5 star caliber. You've got to read it to believe it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is the creepiest movie on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I loved Stephen King's movies ever since I was young. This got to be one of the best. I never got a chance to actually read the book, but I LOVED the movie. Its one reason why I don't like clowns anymore. Even though I watched it doezens of times, it still freaks me out. Its sooooooooo good!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This horror filled novel rates A-one.
Review: Pennywise, (my nickname) is the most complex charcter in all of horror history. He is funny, as well as strange. It is THE best book ever written and I, Pennywise, (has been my name for over a year) reccommend it!
