I would say IT ranks in the top 5 of my favorite books. If you say you're a King fan, than you need to read IT.

It's one of his best books.

It is also filled with nostalgia.

This book single-handedly turned me into a diehard Stephen King fan. It was the first one I read, and it's still my favorite.

IT is scary but it gives you an insight to the human psyche.

IT is a must read SK book. to this date it is one of the few books which could scare me, i'm dying to read it again but there are sooo many other SK books to read.

Derry is by far one of the most interesting places to be visited in a Stephen King novel. And as a Constant Reader, you will most likely visit there often. The deep secrets and rich history of Derry are found on the pages of It.

It is more than just a scary story. It's about friends, childhood, and the nostalgia of going home again. What a wonderful combination!

But don't take the word "scary" lightly. I just moved into a house that is beside a main drainage line. It is raining right now, and I can hear the water flowing. So, am I scared? Yeah, I'm a little creeped out right now...

Long story short: Uncle Steve makes the words float. So read It- you'll float too.
