What it's about:
Ralph Roberts has an incurable case of insomnia, but lack of sleep is the least of his worries. Each night he stays awake, Ralph witnesses more of the odd activity taking place in Derry after dark than he wants to know. The nice young chemist up the street beats his wife and has delusions about beings he calls "The Centurions." A madman with a knife is trying to kill him, he's sure. And on the night May Locher died, one of the two bald men coming out of her house had a pair of scissors in his hand. What does it all mean? Ralph doesn't quite know. But the bizarre visions he's been having keep getting more intense, the strange deaths in Derry have just begun, and Ralph knows he isn't hallucinating.
Returning to the town of Derry, Maine, the setting of one of his most critically acclaimed novels, It, Stephen King combines bone-chilling realism with supernatural terror to create yet another masterpiece of suspense. -taken from Barnes&Noble.com
My thoughts:
Horror and suspense at it's best! It's hero and heroine are in their old age. King gives great insight into the pathos of the golden years. The book is very descriptive of what it might feel like to become old. Insomnia takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. This book has it all, from laughter to tears. And being a Stephen King novel, it also has thrills and horror aplenty. This is one King book you don't want to miss!
