IT (novel) by By Stephen King
It by Stephen king was a book far from indefinite. It felt so palpable, as if you were helping the characters through their troublesome way of terror and agony. It by Stephen king is strongly
unpredictable it had so many questions and thoughts unanswered like “why is Derry like this” and “ will the realistic nightmare ever end?”. Every chapter you read gives you a clue towards the answer you've been waiting to grasp with your hands, the books that made Stephen king an award winning novelist. This is something I loved from the book, which Stephen king did great in the book.What worked for me was the imagery and description. The story’s main characters consist of Bev, Ben, Eddie, Stanley, Mike, Richie, and Bill (the lucky seven). During the book it allows you to understand, and actually feel the pain and emotions brought towards these seven characters.This is why I felt it was a great book,the detail and the imagery Stephen king gives towards the book.
The characterization was so reinforced, it felt as I was actually one of the characters in the story. I felt like the characterization is so important in this book, reason why is the attitudes towards the problem with the Derry itself and their own horrific encounters how each single one of them handled the problem, with their own emotion and their different expressions towards this dieng troublesome problem.
One of the quotes that brought me this book which I liked so much was “‘Everything down here floats’” (King 15). The reason why I love this quote is that it has another meaning that is said throughout the story. The meaning is that he is referring to floating as your death, and as you die
you will have your dreams come true and whatever you desire.. Another quote I loved was “‘Although the way he looked tonight, it might be better if he did’” (King 84). It is referring to that maybe Ben should’ve died because he has seen too much, all the horrible things he can't unsee.
These two quotes really tie into to the story because in fact that they do realize the same thought during the book, and they are finally realizing that it's stuck in their brain. It’s saying that you still can’t forget. The frequent words Pennywise the clown said, a spine-chilling phrase that they were scared about. what he meant when he said “They all float”.
I recommend this book to people who are interested about mystery and horror within an age limit. This certainly isn’t a book meant for children, but this book is for the people who love to read and have many thoughts and questions about intriguing topics and problems. I also recommend this book to people that have actual experience towards books overall. I say this, because a regular level reader couldn’t be able to comprehend and understand the timeline and description in the novel.
