IT

By: Stephen King

The book begins with a murder right off the bat. Yes it’s a hate crime but there’s more to it then people come to believe. The main mystery ends up being what is the entity they come to call IT?
Derry, Maine has many secrets and it’s up to a group of 7 very unique friends to expose them and make the horrible murders stop once and for all, to hopefully make IT stop once and for all. I gave this book 3 stars because even though it is a good story this book has a lot of Racist, Sexist and Homophobic language throughout it. I understand that this book was finished in 1985 and that was still the norm back then but the language is used a lot. I personally don’t believe King to be or condone any of these things I just think that the book hasn’t aged well for those reasons. This is massive book and while some of the description (which this book has a lot of) is very good, some of it is completely unnecessary and makes the book drag on. This book has two time lines and I think had it been split into 2 books the story flow might have been better.
