If you're looking for a good scare this is a great choice for the beginner King. This is King at his finest ghoul-wise. Pennywise is a such a deliciously creepy invention, the pure evil in the guise of a child-friendly clown. The character development is another of King's great marks of greatness, and this is no exception even with a full seven heroes to flesh out. Dont' let anyone tell you to watch the movie instead, the movie is just a show for those who have read the book. You honestly dont' get anything from the movie like you would in the book so go here first. It's nice and long and keeps you at the edge of your seat many a time. A terrific book and a real classic. dont' just take it out of the library, make sure you buy it! | |

It goes off on tangents that add elements but I'm not sure all those elements need to be there. The story is superb. Just hang with the slow start and you will glad you did. | |

I think my daughter wished she'd bought it instead of letting me know he'd like it for his collection. I was happy to have so many copies to choose from on eBay. | |

I've been a fan of Stephen King's for years, read almost every one of his books (I'm not too crazy about the Dark Tower books), and this one is by far my favorite. Long, but worth every page! It is scary and suspenseful to the point that you'll sleep with the light on at least ONE night! Highest recommendations. A must-have for any King fan or anyone who wants to be scared out of their wits! | |

| It by Steven King (1986) | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is one of Steven King's greatest novels and was the second one I ever read back in the 80's. I've watched the TV adaptation several times but it doesn't compare to reading the novel. My imagination runs wild with the written word. Though, I have to admit, that Tim Curry's potrayal of Pennywise was the way I imagined the character to look. I've read where the Sci-Fi Channel is going to film a remake of the mini-series. I hope it's as good as the original. | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. I read this book in college and dreamed about it, scared my room-mate out of his wits when I woke up screaming about something under the bed. The characters are so unique and the little events that King comes up with that reach down deep and touch you like no author can. This is my favorite King book because it has so many stories within a story. I remember the clown, prison guard, and the doberman pincher among other things. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a good read and a good scare. Its hard to put down once you get involved. | |
