    <body><![CDATA[Very good story, but I read Stephen King's IT first; this came off for me like a sort of homage to that. However, that's probably unfair. I loved the Hyperion books by Simmons, recommended to me by my college roommate (and given by him, too!).]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Invites comparison to King's &quot;It&quot;.  Actually brought back pleasant memories of reading King when I was younger.  Simmons is a fantastic writer.  In my opinion, his early horror work only hints at his later science fiction masterpieces.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Didn't enjoy this like I thought I would. Dan Simmons is a great writer, but I would recommend reading Hyperion instead. Still, this book was fun in a lot of places and had an engaging and nostalgic atmosphere, even if the quality of the writing wasn't always as sophisticated as I would have liked.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great kids in this book... Sort of a Stand By Me kind of book, but there's actually a horror story going on.  Some of the kids return in Children of Night, so stay tuned.<br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a well written scary book, I really enjoyed how the &quot;monsters&quot; seemed believable and not over the top.  Plus the character development was top-notch.]]></body>
