   The Eyes of the Dragon is a MUST read, hard to find in print but if you do find it; get it! Totally different from his other books, I read it in one day.

   My dad collected his books. Since I could recall and I currently just turned 37 this mth. So, I grew up with his old collections of books. And I still remember him reading them. When I got old enough the 1st 1 he suggested was out of 3 books. Carrie, 4 past midnight, and this one. I wasn't allowed to read 2 arts of IT though at 13. I chose this one and that day he read Cycle of the Werewolf. He passed day after Christmas and he left me his collection. My dad collected his books.

   Book Review, IT Horror is not really my top choice for a novel, but I would say the fictional novel IT, by Stephen King, is more than just splattered red blood cells and human remains. Other than murder, IT gives a sense of friendship, trust, and commitment. There was a group of friends that called themselves The Loser Club. They all had two things in common: each of them did not have many friends and they all had traumatic experiences with the clown, IT. Eddie, Bill, Ben, Beverly, Stan, Mike, an Book Review, IT Horror is not really my top choice for a novel, but I would say the fictional novel IT, by Stephen King, is more than just splattered red blood cells and human remains. Other than murder, IT gives a sense of friendship, trust, and commitment. There was a group of friends that called themselves The Loser Club. They all had two things in common: each of them did not have many friends and they all had traumatic experiences with the clown, IT. Eddie, Bill, Ben, Beverly, Stan, Mike, and Riche all live in Derry. In the summer of 1958, they all tried to figure out the reason behind the child murders. It all started two years ago with Georgie, Bill’s brother. Bill had made his brother a paper boat to play with on the rainy day. As George watches the boat glide down the road, it falls into a drain. Just as little George reaches to grab his toy, a clown appears. His smooth words persuade George to grab a balloon that he has, but instead, the clown, that goes by the name Pennywise, bites off George’s arm. From there, the number of deaths began to peak. At the end of the summer, the friends promised to never speak upon their findings the night before, ever again. Twenty seven years have passed, and Mike still resides in Derry. He starts to notice a trend in his hometown, the number of child murders is rising, and he has an idea on why. IT was a read that made me think. It had me curious to the world of imagination. However, it also made me think I was not as skilled at reading. The text was often difficult to follow. The story was told in third person and it switched from the past and present frequently. It was hard for me to follow when the flashbacks occurred and when they did not. The transitions were not clear until later on in the book. I often had to go back and re-read chapters just to understand the context. Another thing, the real meat of the story is not revealed until way later in the book. Therefore, I often lost interest. This could be, however, because I am a straight to the point kind of person. On the other hand, when I did understand the novel, it was highly intriguing.The underlying theme of the novel is extraordinary. Stephan King really displays the idea of friendship in the novel which I think is ironic because of all of the murders that are occurring around town are bringing the loner kids closer. Also, the fact that a clown, someone who is supposed to be friendly and kind, is the opposite of its nature is ironic. In addition, my favorite part of the novel, was reading about Stan in the present. Due to the scene at the end of chapter three, I really wanted to know more about the promise they had all made back in 1958. For those who like great detail, this is the novel to read. There are so many elements to consider with the big picture. A strong reader would really enjoy Stephan King's writing style. Also, I would advise those who fathom over horror stories to read this book. On the other hand, if horror is not something that is preferred, the novel plays on the idea of friendship well. It reminds the reader that sometimes our greatest fears are easier to overcome with a partner in crime. While reading IT, the reader will sometimes put themselves in the story along with Bill, Mike, and the others. I often had nightmares about the context, but anyone who lives, breathes, and bleeds horror will truly enjoy IT.
