REVIEW

IT is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. It was his 22nd book and 18th novel written under his own name. The story follows the experiences of seven children as they are terrorized by an Entity that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of a clown to attract its preferred prey of young children. This book is really good and I mean really good. You should try reading it yourself. When i first read the book i wasn’t expecting anything interesting, I just thought that it would be the same as the other books i read. Boring and not interesting. Yes, some of you might think ‘‘How could you find books boring! They’re are so interesting.‘‘ But believe me, I’m the kind of person who sits home and plays videogames with his brother and doesn’t care about anything else. But when i read the book something changed. IT was the only book i found joy in. Lots of times I felt either sadness or happiness or sometimes even fear. I really like this book and you should read it aswell.

Character

I’m going to talk about Richie Tozier, because he’s the funniest in the group. He wore thick black glasses and had huge front buck teeth which earned him the name "Bucky Beaver" by others in his school, though he was later dubbed "Trashmouth" by the Losers due to his foul language and loud mouth that often got him into trouble. The other Losers often used the phrase "Beep beep, Richie" whenever they needed to silence him. Although Richie misbehaved a lot in school, he received straight high marks in school besides his grades in behavior. Before Richie joined the Losers' Club, Bill noted seeing him insulting Henry Bowers and his gang, resulting in him getting chased and beaten until he cried.
Richie is known for his hobby of doing Voices and impersonations, although when he is younger most of them were awful and sounded much like himself.
