    About this ebook

    It: Chapter Two—now a major motion picture!

    Stephen King’s terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, “a landmark in American literature” (Chicago Sun-Times)—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers…an evil without a name: It.

    Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

    They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers.

    Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It.

    “Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).

    Editor's Note

    Do you want a balloon?…

    King captures the magic of childhood, and lifts the reader’s spirit high with his depiction of the shielding power of friendship in the face of evil for a group of grammar school kids. The book breaks your heart, too, floating to the surface the pain kids suffer as they grow aware of the failures of their would-be adult protectors. “It” will terrify you. But read it. It’s worth losing a couple nights of sleep.

      This was my first Stephen King, back when I was maybe 12. It scared the daylights out of me (all 1,000 pages of it!). It also hooked me on King's characterizations and storytelling abilities. At that time, most people dismissed King as "just a horror novelist." I'm glad people have begun to appreciate his talent despite his genre. Even back then, as an aspiring writer and avid reader, I appreciated what he brought to the literary world and continue to read his books when I'm in the mood for that sort of thing.
    • 5/5
      One of the best reading experiences in my life. Summer in the mid-eighties. I was a teenager. Couldn't put it down.
    • 5/5
      Nothing like a book with an evil clown! After Poltergeist and It, I'm a 40 year old woman who runs like a baby from a clown! (Have even punched one to get away)

      This book was great. I love a book where people go missing. Where unsuspected victims die. Then in swoops the Loser Club to save the day. WE HOPE.

      With twists, turns, unexpected adventures, and the psychological trauma King caused me to experience. I say to anyone that has never read his book, this is one you can't miss!
    • 4/5
      Although I've listened to several of his audiobooks, this is my first time reading Stephen King. It was long but good. Sort of scary but the characters and the nostalgia (of the 80's) of were the best parts. It was cool to get into the young characters' heads.
    • 4/5
      Deliciously creepy, made more so because I read it in a beach house that backs a canal in Delaware. At night.
    • 4/5
      I have been listening to this book for a month. I have to say, now that I'm finished, I really miss Bill, Ben, Bev, Richie, Eddie, Mike & Stan. This book is creepy and touching. It is a beautiful story that will scare the pants off you. It examines the differences between the way children see and process things and the way adults do. It shows the incredible power of belief and love. I enjoyed this book, as I do every time I read it. It affected me differently at various stages of my life. I felt the biggest impact the first time I read it - which I suppose is always true with books like this. This is my first time listening to a Stephen King book and Steven Weber did a great job. I was immersed in their world every time I listened. Now that it's over, my walks, car rides & house cleaning seem empty. I will need to find another audiobook soon. :)
    • 5/5
      Stephen King is one of the greatest horror authors. I was already so frightened to read books that he wrote based on what my parents have told me but I decided to take that risk. I decided to start my Stephen King reading career with It. I still can't decide if I should've started with a much less intense book but I read it anyway. Words really can't describe how creepy and frighting this book is. The way Stephen King explained every scene involving the clown just blew me away. Yes this book was scary, but I could not stop reading this book, afterwords I immediately went on to the next Stephen King novel. This book is definitely the best book I've ever read. This is why now my favorite novel genre is horror because even though nightmares have occurred many times while reading it, but it was just so good. This book is made for young adults and adults. Make sure you read this book during the day or else you'll face the consequences when you fall asleep...
    • 4/5
      I read this thinking that this is a horror story. It is a horror story but for me it was more sad than scary. This a story about 7 children who were destined to fight IT - an evil monster lurking under the city of Derry. As the children said, its a work for adults but know it was up to them to kill it. Imagine having this heavy burden as a child? Imagine having to see something so terrifying at a young age. They have to grow up by 11. Even as adults, they were successful and wealthy (all except for Mike), but I can still feel that underlying loneliness. What really made me sad was the death of Eddie. Richie and Eddie were my favorite and it saddened me that to read Eddie die. I would love to give this book 5 stars but I was so grossed out with 11 year old Beverly having sex with 6 11-year old guys in the sewers. That creep-ed me out.
    • 4/5
      Another win for Stephen King! I know I'm twenty-odd years late in saying that, but hey, there's a time and a place for every book, and 'It's time was now.

      Great rendering of childhood nostalgia -- even if I didn't grow up in the late 50's. This is the first time in a long time that a book has actually frightened me a little bit. I like to read in the bath, but after the scene in Beverly's bathroom -- I actually had second thoughts.

      Fantastic fantastic. Long but completely worth it.
    • 4/5
      This is probably my favorite Stephen King book. I love how it flip-flops between the two points in time and can't help but wonder if he wrote it that way or if he wrote the two sections whole and then pieced them together like that...?
    • 4/5
      Well done. Boy can Stephen King draw characters well. Each of them is unique, but similar. They all have their crosses to bear as kids and each of them turns out to be a successful adult with their past completely behind them. King does some of his best writing in this book. When he describes how when people become adults, they stop believing in the unseen. They only believe in insurance and wine with dinner and things like that. He makes you wonder if the adults can defeat It now because they have ceased to believe.
    • 5/5
      This was the book that haunted my dreams years before I actually got a chance to read it. I used to get pulled along to the grocery store with my mom, weren't we all, and during the countless hours we spent standing in the checkout line I'd stare up at the impulse buy section and It would always be there. The cover, and what it implies, was enough to scare the hell out of me at that age and years later I was delighted to find out that reading the book had the same effect.
    • 5/5
      This is one of Stephen King's scariest books, next to the Shining. It creeped me out, definitely better than the TV movie version. I was always afraid of clowns, and this book did not help...one of Stephen King's best.
    • 5/5
      The best book I have ever read! It took me a whole month to read, but was definately worth it! I fell in love with the characters! and was so sad when it had to end....
    • 3/5
      One of those truly well written stories that is ultimately damaged when the story becomes too silly for words.
    • 5/5
      It is one of Stephen King's best. It is signature King in that it takes such normal kids and throws them into such bizarre horror that it leaves you teetering.
    • 5/5
      I had a bless reading this book. Altough it has over 900 pages, I needed only 3 weeks to read it. It was such gripping and scary ... the character of the clown was interested to read. Also the charactes of the children and then adults were fascinating!!! I would say that Stephen King became my favourite writer because I read this book!!
    • 3/5
      It would be a better book without most of the first five hundred pages but, once into it,I enjoyed it. King relied rather too much on blood being frightening and, as I haven't seen the film I wasn't quite so scared of the clown as I could have been. The scene building the dam was a gem.oldstick.
    • 4/5
      Ahh a blast from the passed.I am afraid that all of stephen kings work des tend to run together in your mind. There is the elenent of sexual titilation that keeps the teens int it, though I wuold also assume the older readers appreciate it too.My amin memory of this book is of how I came to read it which was that a lad at my afterschool job gave me a copy to read. little did I know that he had chosen the biggest stephen king that he could find so that we would be weeks discussing how the book was progressing. He was therefore a little disappointed when the next time I saw him I returned the book telling him it was "quite nice". the book itself is just so typical of its field that it is difficult to say anything specific about it. but restashured if you like stephen king, or that style of novel you will be as I was glued to it until it finishess
    • 4/5
      My first introduction to Pennywise was through Tim Curry's performance in the mini series from the nineties. To be honest, it scared the everliving crap out of me as a teenager. I had an imagination that was way too rich to be able to bear that. Ironically, it is imagination that proves to be the main weapon against the eponymous It; imagination and faith. The book combines Lovecraft's otherworldly, unspeakable evil with coming of age themes and King's recurrent Innsmouth-esque view on small town life. Protagonists are painted beautifully and lifelike. The childhood experience is believably conveyed to the adults amongst us without seeming like an adult's idea of childhood and the characterization of Henry Bowers descent into madness is sometimes just a little to realistic for comfort. As if King has an intimate knowledge of reality slipping away.That said, there are chapters or events that could have easily been left out of the book without losing coherence, pace or that feeling of dread intimate to the book's premise. 'IT' ends up being exciting, scary, touching though sometimes perhaps a bit meandering or bordering on cheap thrills.
    • 4/5
      This Stephen King novel is also available in movie format, however the book does a much better job of being scary and creepy. Definately an adult book with adult themes and language, but classic Stephen King.
    • 5/5
      1958. There's something rotten under Derry, Maine... and it is killing children. Stuttering Bill Denbrough and the Losers decide to do something about it.Now, 27 years later they are being called back to Derry. Has It returned? And why can they not remember what happened that summer?It is Stephen King at the pinnacle of his talent. He has taken almost every major theme from his previous books and combined them in this very long novel. Though it is long, I don't think of it as an epic. The book is very reminiscent of his earlier novel, The Body as we mainly focus on the extremely close friendship that develops between seven diverse and troubled kids over the very hot and scary summer of 1958 and how they reconnect as adults in 1985.Of course, this is Stephen King, so we do learn of the lives of various townspeople in Derry. We also delve into the long and varied history of It and It's influence on the course of events in Derry. The opening of the book, with the appearance of Pennywise the clown in a storm drain is one of the most famous scenes in any Stephen King work, with good reason. But that is only one of many of the most memorable scary scenes I've encountered in any his novels. It as Pennywise (and the many other shapes It takes) is the greatest monster to prowl King's pages. However, as scary as It was, I was more interested in the kids, how they turned out as adults and their day-to-day activities in the fifties. The creepy moments are sort of the icing on an already excellent cake. King does a great job of bringing that summer in Derry to life. He manages to alternate back and forth between 1958 and 1985, keeping a firm grip on the info being provided, giving the reader many Aha! moments as something will happen in a 1958 chapter that will give some insight on a comment that seemed mysterious when made by one of the adults in 1985. King always writes strong characters, but the Losers are the first group of characters I actually missed when the book ended. I believe that is because we got to know them as both children and as the adults they became. Also, over the course of the long book, you just go through so much with them. In the end, they feel like long time friends.King has gone on to write a number of masterpieces since this book was released (Misery, Needful Things, The Green Mile and others), but to my way of thinking, he has never topped It.
    • 4/5
      I started this book based on the recommendation of a friend, and because it was sitting on my shelves for year just being pushed back to be read. I like Stephen King so I knew that I would like it, but for some reason never did. This book is... well... long. I don't have a problem with the lengths of books, usually, but this one FEELS long. My friend told me that it wouldn't pick up until around page 200, but for me, it was about 550 before I started actually enjoying the read instead of feeling as though I were forcing myself to do homework. The story jumps around between present and past tense, and has tons of characters to get to know. Then those characters all have different experiences and interactions in both the past and present tense, and one by one, the reader plows through them and eventually by the end of the book, you learn about what happened almost 30 years ago, and finally come to the present day, to the climax of the story. And both the past and present "climaxes" seem to take years building up to them, but are over within only a few pages. Being that I was so bored with some parts of it, I started skipping lines and even entire paragraphs. I think that I'll have to reread this book to get all the details down. In the end, the story was interesting and to take it in as a whole it's a very fun, creepy book.... I get the very distinct impression that the first read of this book is a little rough on everyone because while you are waiting to know the details, it feels like it will take forever. But once you know it, it's very good.
    • 5/5
      The book that made me a King fan twenty years ago, just finished a second reading and three things stand out. First, the wonderful interlace style that works so well here and ties together the events of 1958 with 1985 in such a mind-blowing fashion. Second, King's portrayal of children, which he also pulls off in his great story The Body. King understands what makes children tick like no other. Third, the ending, which honestly King is not well known for. Here it's fully realized and very satisfying. This may very well be my favorite King book, at least of the really long ones.
    • 5/5
      By the time I got to the end of this novel it felt as though I had been reading it for ever, such is the scale of this book. The characters are followed through childhood into adulthood, and you get a very real sense of time passing, and the parallels between what went on in the past and what was happening in the present. Some of the passages about the town's history perhaps went on a tad too long, but were still full of the lively prose and personality pieces that King does so well. I have to ask myself why so many horror writers resort to this particular sort of 'monster' (not to give the plot away), but a superb piece of fiction nonetheless.
    • 4/5
      This is actually my second time reading this book. The first time was back when it was first released and I was an avid fan of SK. I remember hating this book so much I didn't finish it and didn't pick up another SK for nearly 20 years. lol I'm glad I gave this book another chance. There are some truly creepy scenes and he did a wonderful job with the pre-teen buddies/bullies/"wonder years" construct (except for one particular "love" scene as the pre-teen buddies were leaving the lair of "IT" that just seemed so tremendously awkward and unnecessary that I feel the author would have done better just to leave it out).
    • 5/5
      Scared the crap out of me. This book is the reason I don't like clowns now. I even gave away my clown music box that I had just purchased with my own money!
    • 4/5
      Very strange and just as scary and creepy as the movie. I still don't really understand what the hell it's about beyond evil clowns are scary, but I was in eighth grade when I read it.
    • 2/5
      Granted, I'm not one to pick up "horror" fiction - but I was in the mood for something different & scary for a change. Listened to the audio version - all 35 CD's (groan). I guess it was well done - but the incredibly high incidence of screaming got to me. Personally, I didn't find this book scary at all. Horrific, at times, yes. Wanted to quit two times but hung with it, probably because the portrayal of pre adolescent kids was so good. That being said, something happens, which you don't get to till near the end, among the kids (not having to do with the monster) when they are nearing the end of their battle that I think is absolutely appalling. I really struggled with trying to figure out how this was integral to the plot and just couldn't get it. Male fantasy gone totally awry... If I had a teenager I would not want them to read it for this reason.
    • 4/5
      Probably my favorite Staphen King novel, mainly for all the "kids living in the 1950s" stuff. King gets the details of that time exactly right. I also think he's at his best when he's writing about 12-year-old boys. A terrible ending, as usual; evidently King never plots out his novels beforehand, so more often than not he ends his books by blowing up the world. If you're interested in authentic 1950s and you can forgive the disappointing ending, then this is a worthwhile read.
