Summer of Night by Dan Simmons
5.0

This book was an unexpected delight. I had heard people say that if you liked Stephen King's IT that you would like this book. I have to agree.

The story of these young boys and a young girl battling evil over the summer was very good. One thing that I liked, as a difference to the book IT, was that adults could also see what these kids were seeing. A part here or two were a little slow, but it always picked up. The story is fast paced and keeps outdoing itself as it unfolds.

The last 100 pages or so I just had to stay up late to finish. I needed to know how it all ended. And it was worth it. If you liked IT, I highly recommend this book.
