It
(Stephen King)
In Stephen King?s book It, which was made into a movie along with every other decent book, a bunch of adults reunite after many years in a small town in Maine. They all went through the same horrific experiences as children ? watching their friends and siblings be murdered by some mysterious force. It appeared to the different children in different ways ? all of them pressing on the children?s individual deep down fears. When the crazy, clown related force reappears in the town, people start dying again and the original group of children (now adults) comes back home to battle it. The story follows the main character, who of course does not die, watched his brother die in the opening scene of the book while he was still a small child (he disappeared down a storm drain when he saw a clown down there as his newspaper boat floated down). Okay that sentence was very poorly formulated but you?ll have to forgive me. As with all of Stephen King?s books, he sneaks in a sex scene or two, tons of gruesome killings, way too many pages (over 1100 in my hard cover edition), and then ends it in a very, very stupid way. I have not seen the movie but I have heard that it does really make up for the bad ending in anyway. Oh, Hollywood, how you have failed me! Woe is me! Stephen King is also the author of trillions of other books like The Tommyknockers, The Frighteners, Children of the Corn, The Shining, The Stand, Needful Things, Cujo, Dreamcatcher, and many, many more which have pretty much all been made into movies. A little lesser known are his short stories which have also been published in books like Skeleton Crew.
