It
Description of book
Stephen King's classic #1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for the massively successful films It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two as well as inspiration for HBO Max’s upcoming Welcome to Derry—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled upon 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).

IT is a amazing novel that might be a bit long but worth it none the less. Steven Weber did an amazing job narrating and i recommend this listen a lot

The reading actor: was good but many times he could have toned it down. The shouting did not happen often, but when it did, it made the story difficult to listen to. The story: IT is a very complex, well thought and constructed novel. A lot of times i felt confused like the protagonists- jumping between past and present events, unveiling the story gradually as their memories came back. As usual King's story is full of gore and horror stemming from both supernatural and human nature. There is also a lot of good that balances it out. One thing I will never accept and forgive the author is the scene where kids repair their bond through adult intimacy. Seroiusly??? No other way they could have shown they love eachother?! And it's so unnecessarily long...I had to skip through. Wish I could forget it like the characters did. I don't regret listening to it though. It's a damn good book.

Har man bara sätt filmerna så är den värd att lyssna på. Du får mera ut av allt egentligen sedan är jag inte alltid så intresserad av all bakgrundsinformation som han ger men det är en personlig grej.

Unglaublich guter Sprecher. Inhaltlich nicht umsonst ein Klassiker der Horrorbücher. Allerdings gibt es auch mitunter Längen, die man guten Gewissens überspringen kann.
