It

The month of October is filled with spooky movies, creepy ghouls, and clowns? You may think that clowns are the happy-go-lucky sort of entertainment, but not after you read Stephan King's It. Now, this wasn't my first choice to read, thinking of re-reading Philippa Gregory's novel The Other Boylen Girl was first on my list, however it's the month of scaring the living daylights out of people, and it is completely fine to start a new book.

Taking on the daunting task of reading an 1,093 page book is definetly a challege but increadiably woth it. The masterful writer, who has published plentiful of books, creates this ingeniuos idea to write about everyone's (or at least most of ours) number one fear - Clowns. Starting out with just a teaser, George Denbourgh encounter's the horrid clown down in a sewer, just after playing with his paper boat. Mr. King sets a realistic scene of the encounter, making me want to read more every single second. The story continues to follow a group of children who all have their encounter with It, one way or another; through photo albums, balloons, and sewer drains. Growing up, lives shaken the main characters to their bones. The image of It, burns my memory everytime I close my eyes.

I've only read 385 pges but plan on finishing the book. It may be long, but if you are looking for a good fright with an intersting plot, I deeply recomend this book. Hopefully you won't make the mistake of reading at 2 AM, with darkness surrounding you, as I did.
