It

by Stephen King

[EBookObsessed]

I had originally read It in 1986 when it was first released. After it was announced that a new movie was in production, I had to re-read it so it would be fresh in my memory.

While this is one of the top Stephen King novels, the new film varied so much from the novel (and I don't just mean that it was only just the kids or now set in 1989) that rereading only made the obvious changes that much fresher in my mind.

Both the novel and the film are worth reading/watching on their own but comparisons are worthless since the film presented its own interpretation but grabbed more of the raw horror from the novel.
