IT (Paperback)

It is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The story follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by an eponymous being, which exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of a clown in order to attract its preferred prey of young children. The novel is told through narratives alternating between two time periods, and is largely told in the third-person omniscient mode. It deals with themes that eventually became King staples: the power of memory, childhood trauma, and the ugliness lurking behind a façade of traditional small-town values. The novel won the British Fantasy Award in 1987, and received nominations for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards that same year.[1] Publishers Weekly listed It as the best-selling book in the United States in 1986.

Now, this book was amazing. It had everything. The scary stuff was done good, I'd say that this was the most amazing St.King book ever.

Notice-
There is a lot of violence on children in this movie: Girl is close to being sexually abused, a boy's arm is bitten off. Kid want's to shoot a cat. There are also a lot of bullying scenes including a knife. But it is okay in a horror novel.
