Lately, i haven't reading something specifically special, all my focus revolve around in academic texts that belong to my career, but i remember a book that i started to read a couple of months ago, a book that sadly i could not resume again recently: “It” by Stephen King.
“It” belongs to the terror/thriller genre and was my first introduction to Stephen King in general, but not necessarily my induction to the genre because i read previously some stories from H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe and i have to say that i love and apreciate too much their style of story-telling, but specifically, their way of create the perfect atmosphere of suspense without being too much dense or complicated in descriptions or situations.
Returning to the topic, the short time reading “It” was very satisfying, the story-telling is very simple, but effective. The author explain very well the general context of the main story, write some very interesting secondary characters and specially a very frightfur and enjoyable antagonist: the famous clown known generally as Pennywise.
Concerning to the main theme in short therms, “It” tell us the story of a group of a carismatic childrens who end involved into the game of a rising menace, but a menace too much older, deeper and relevant for them and the history of their town, Derry, that they think. A terrifying meeting that will mark them for the rest of their lives.
