IT

Last night I finished rereading Stephen King's "IT", which I consider the best book he's written. It was also the first book I ever read by him, all those 16 years ago. I love rereading good books; it's like visiting old friends. The characters in this book are so real, so vivid. I can't even say which one is my favorite, because I like them all. I love the way, in the last part, he switches between 1958 and 1985, right in the middle of a sentence. It produces such an air of confusion, really makes you feel what those poor characters in the book were feeling. I wonder if Mike being a librarian influenced me when I was a teenager first reading this book.
