Stephen King, It Review

Overall Rating

Good story line one of Mr King's best.

A "deus ex machina ending"

It by Stephen Kind is literally terryfying.Great characterization and a superb plot .What really sets apart "IT" from other Stephen King novels is that the novel shows us the dreadest of all our fears which is fear of the Unknown.The shapeshifting entity"IT"first appears as nothing but a mere reflection of its victims' fears but later in the book it is revealed that "IT" too has a form which unfortunately cannot be comprehended by our normal senses of perception. One other interesting fact is that "It"s natural Enemy "the turtle" bears some resemblence to Hindu God of creation "Brahma" just like "the turtle" Brahma is believed to have created the Universe and like "the turtle" he doesn't interfere in mortal affairs.
