About this book
IT weaves a supernatural tale of seven socially outcast kids who find themselves brought together one summer to battle an ancient and deadly shape-shifter known as IT. IT emerges from the sewers once every 27 years, using it's polymorphic abilities to terrify and prey upon children in the rural town of Derry, Maine - often in the form of the demonic Pennywise the Clown. IT was made into a television mini-series in 1990, starring Tim Curry and more recently as a blockbuster film (2017).
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.

First line
The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years-if it ever did end-began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
