If you've never tried Stephen King and you think he might not be for you I would still suggest trying IT - yes it's a horror novel but it's also a novel about the unbreakable friendships you have as youngsters - or so you believe - that time slowly breaks, it's about the highs and lows of being a child/ young teenager, and the endless days of summer. For me it perfectly captures the feelings of childhood/ adolescents. It is the one book of mine that I have read more than any other, and it's the book that got me into reading so holds a special place in my heart

Thanks. I read
IT before it came out. (I was working at a bookstore in the early 1980s and own the Uncorrected Galley, still in pristine condition. I took a planned holiday off and read it.)
