Product description

Amazon Review

Stephen King's idea for It came from a favorite childhood image: the entire cast of the Bugs Bunny Show coming on at the beginning. He thought of bringing on all the monsters, one last time: Dracula, Frankenstein's creature, the Werewolf, the Crawling Eye, Rodan, It Came from Outer Space.

It is about a group of adults who were once troubled children in the late '50s--"The Losers." One of them is a best selling horror writer much like Stephen King (or his friend and collaborator Peter Straub). In order to defeat the protean "It" that threatens their hometown, they have to go back- -not only to the town itself, but deep into their childhood memories, to regain the talent for magic they once had. King says It is for "the buried child in us, but I'm writing for the grown-up, too. I want grown-ups to look at the child long enough to be able to give him up."

This huge, baggy beast of a novel is a favorite of Stephen King fans--second in popularity only to The Stand. Perhaps longtime fans develop mental filters for King's sloppy storytelling to tune out the repetitions and silliness. King is like the pointillist painter Seurat: if you stand too close to the little dots, the picture falls apart, and it looks meaningless. That's why he makes the storyscape so big--to take you up to that macro-level where you like the book in spite of its flaws. --Fiona Webster --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

One of the greatest storytellers of our time (Guardian)

A writer of excellence . . . King is one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel. (The Sunday Times)

5.0 out of 5 starsAs I remember
By PaulB on 24 April 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I first read this 30 years ago when it first came out. It was brilliant then and it still is. You forget stuff as you get older. I forgot how much I was disappointed to finally finish it the first time....until I finished it the second time. Masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb Story.
By Kindle Customer on 2 Feb. 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a story I have read so many time, and cannot get too much of it. I would put this as a classic of Stephen King's works as the story just grips your imagination from page one to the end.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Herculean labour
By Bren Lee on 24 Jan. 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
But worth every word. Putting down the novel for the final time seems both apt and poetically tragic. I'll miss these characters but they'll soon fade from memory. King knows his trade like few others.

5.0 out of 5 starsI loved this book
By Steve on 3 May 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I loved this book. I watched the mini series when I was a kid, so I didn't think I would be able to get much from reading the book. I was very wrong. Deep and creepy. It's a long book, but I could have stayed with it and the characters for longer.

The story is compelling and interesting. However, King really draws this out, he uses so many unneeded descriptions, details and words. Read more

Finding this book fairly boring. Reading as there is a lot of hype over it. I find SK used 10 words when only 5 needed. Trying hard to finish it.
