It

I'd been waiting to read this since I was a kid of about 11, and now I'm 38 and I've finally read it. Isn't that funny?

This book shows Stephen King to be more than the “master of horror,” as this book goes way beyond a simple monster tale, but a rich fantasy in a complex, familiar and yet puzzling world. It is a tale of the power of children, their beliefs, their bravery and so much more, as the cast of characters get to the root of the evil below their town in Maine. This book is told in an omniscient voice that has a classic monster story sound, but goes deep into the characters' lives. As this book can be enjoyed on so many levels, I can't not recommend it. Yes, it's long, but every page is filled with anticipation.
