About this book
Reader reviews for It
Review summary
Readers widely hail the novel as an ambitious, genre-defining blend of horror and coming?of?age, praising its richly drawn Losers’ Club, vivid small?town portraiture, and sustained dread across interwoven 1958/1985 timelines. Many call it among Stephen King’s best for its emotional core—friendship, memory, trauma, and the banal cruelty of adults—while Pennywise stands out as a cultural touchstone of terror. The book’s vast length enables deep character work but draws frequent criticism for bloat, pacing detours, and digressions. A number of readers found the ending odd or unsatisfying, and some scenes—especially the underage sewer sex and depictions of cruelty—were condemned as gratuitous or sexist. Despite these objections, the consensus frames it as a modern classic: immersive, unsettling, and emotionally resonant, with impact that endures across rereads; even the audiobook narration drew praise.
