Advantages: Brilliantly written horror classic

Disadvantages: It is a long book, so leave yourself plenty of time to read it.

I read this book when I was in my mid-teens and now at nearly 30, I have to say that this is the scariest book I have ever read. It is a long book 1000+ pages, so like I did, is a great read to take with you on holiday.

What horror story would be perfect without clowns in it, and this one has the scariest one ever in the world of horror. Here you meet Pennywise who terrorises and kills the children of Derry, Maine, every 30 years. When a group of outcasts and geeks join together after encountering the clown, they form a strong friendship and go in search of it in the sewers of Derry, where it lives hoping to kill it and put a stop to the horrors that it is creating...... 30 years later and the now grown up kids find out that Pennywise is back and new murders are taking place. Can they relive their fears and experience the terror once again?

This, in my opinion, is one of the best (and longest) of King's books. It is a real page turner, leaving you gripped to find out what happens next, and if you are a bit of a wimp like me, leaving the bedroom light on!

Summary: Definitely a must for horror fans
