Book Review: “It: A Novel,” by Stephen King.
From the outside, “It” is a clown, balloons in one hand and a beckon
in the other whose image either frightens or amuses. But just a peek
inside and “It” is quick to establish that you really should be scared.
Set in fictional Derry, Maine, during the summers of 1958 and 1985.
The Losers Club is a group of seven fifth-graders who steadily come
together as a result of both the bullying they endure as well as their
interactions with “It,” which manifest itself in a number of frighten-
ing forms and encounters with the unreal. Twenty-seven years later,
those same kids come back together in Derry because of a promise
they made to return when “It” eventually returns.
“It” is a horror novel, yes, but you shouldn’t go in expecting to be
scared; many of the scary scenes are more appropriate for the time
period compared to now. Instead, fear emerges steadily from the
Losers own personal lives.
I speak as a first-time reader of a Stephen King novel. There’s a
lot to say about “It,” both as a story and as a concept. This is a great
read that made me interested in not just the story in front of me, but
also the lore behind its setting and characters. — By Martin Nelson
