Editorial Review:
They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they were grown-up men and women who had gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But none of them could withstand the force that drew them back to Derry, Maine to face the nightmare without an end, and the evil without a name. What was it? Read It and find out...if you dare!
It was the children who saw - and felt - what made the town so horribly different. In the storm drains and sewers 'It' lurked, taking the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. As the children grow up and move away, the horror of 'It' is buried deep - until they are called back.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Classic Stephen King
After The Stand, this is probably King's best novel. It's a classic masterpiece and still one of my favorites after all these years.
Rating: - It's a great read
It is probably one of Stephen King's longest books. It's satisfyingly short title, draws the reader in. The book mostly focuses on all of our most nurtured fears, clowns.
The book begins with meeting Pennywise, the dancing clown, and thus finding out exactly how evil It is. The story tells us about a group of kids who joined together as friends to play and later to stop the evil destroying the small New England town.
The book was a page-turner and never stopped being interesting. ... Read More
Rating: - Angieville: IT
I preface this review by stating (somewhat sheepishly) that this is my first horror novel. Honestly? I've always secretly longed to read a Stephen King book, but I never knew where to jump in. So I contented myself with reading On Writing and his book reviews, admiring the talent from afar, so to speak.
IT begins with a great first line:
"The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years--if it ever did end--began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat ... Read More
Rating: - King's Magnum Opus
"Magnum opus" is a Latin phrase which translates to "great work," and in my mind this is Stephen King's greatest effort. I have read and enjoyed nearly everything he has written, but nothing had the long-term, disquieting effect on me that "It" did and continues to do.
What makes this book so great? I'm glad you asked. Allow me to break the answer down into categories:
1. Sheer terror - King has written many scary books, as well as many books that aren't scary but have ... Read More
Rating: - Scariest book I have ever read
When I was younger I saw It the movie and I thought it was terrifying. It gives no justice to how scary this book is or how good it is for that matter. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommend it!
