Some other reviews:
IT One, Two, he's comin' for you.
"The terror which would not end for another twenty-eight years- if it ever did end- began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet or newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain."
"Float with us,Don," the clown said out of it's grinning red mouth, and then pointed with one of its white-gloved hands under the bridge. Balloons floated against the underside of the bridge-not a dozen, or a dozen dozens, but thousands, red and blue and green and yellow and printed on the side of each was I LOVE DERRY!

This is a book filled with terrors that will haunt your mind. The fear is indescribable. The vision of IT is everylasting it burns your mind and it's permanent. If you want something that will make you have night terrors this is one of King's best books ever check it out. I give it a 10 and I highly suggest this book.

The Seer and the Sword by Victoria Hanley
"The moment is vast." I know this means the moment is bit, but will only last for a while, so seize it while you can.
"There's aid to be a mighty curse on anyone who lifts this Sword for conquest." If there is no use for the Sword and it's cursed why would Kareed (king) go to Bellandra and fight for the sword? I recommend this book to fantasy readers. I give it a 10 as well. I think it's one of the best fantasies of all time. Princess Torina lives a charmed life in the Kingdom of Archeld. Then her father, King Kareed, seizes the peaceful kingdom of Bellandra--and its legendary sword, rumored able to defeat any enemy. On his return, he offers Torina two gifts: a beautiful crystal and the defeated king's son, Landen, as a slave. Both prove to be more precious than she could ever imagine. for with them Torina makes two discoveries: She is a seer, able to glimpse the future in her crystal, and Landen is not a servant but a peer, a noble spirit who matches her in wits, humor and character. But all is not well in Archeld. Beneath the seemingly orderly surface lurk greed, revenge-- and plots against the king's life. Fingers point at Landen, but Torina cannot believe he would harm her or her family. Can she use her newfound powers to save her beleaguuered kingdom? Or must the seer take up the sword?--the description of her book.

Falling up by: Shel Silverstein
"No more scratin',snarlin',spitters." "No more midnight', meowin', mews."

I chose these excerpts because they're good examples or alliteration.

"The hand of the clock pinched the foot of the bed."

I chose this because it gives the furniture human characteristics.
I feel that Falling Up one of his best Children's poetry books ever. It teaches young ones alliteration, personification, and it is vivid with tons of adjectives.
