Summary

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine, was just their hometown: familiar, well ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different.

In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed, and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

Brilliant!

Read this book many years ago, and returned to listen to the audiobook. Remains in my list of favourite books. Enjoyed listening just as much as reading this fantastic book about friendship, childhood, trust, belief, fear, and the darker things that Stephen King is so good at putting into words. I again became totally immersed in the story and characters, and the narration by Steven Weber is excellent. Fantastic!

Mostly brilliant but overloaded

Well I managed to complete this in about 4 months compared to the two years it took me as a teen ha ha! I think this is the rare occasion that I prefer the mini series and film, only because the cut out all the unecesary waffle. There were the interlude parts that dragged on for ages and I just didn't care..I would prefer to just concentrate on the story of the Losers club and Pennywise. I think the history parts would still have been effective if made shorter. This narrator was the definite highlight., he was fantastic and very talented especially at doing the voice of IT. Very chilling at times. I feel that the mini series and film cut out the right stuff that should have been left out. I do definitely recommend this book if you have the spare hours required to finish it. It's a challenge!

Fantastic book and Fantastically read.

This is an excellent book and I would definitely recommend to all. Especially to those who have read the Gunslinger series and people who need reminders of childhood and imagination.
This thrilling masterpiece is brought alive by the superb reading of Steven Weber. Who portrays the characters expertly. This is how an an audio book should be.

Amazing Derry

A tour de force. Stephen King is masterful and magnificent. IT is a magical piece of compelling writing that was brought to life by an excellent narration.

Great Book

This is a great book. Having read it before I was very wary of listening to the audio version, as I was very worried it would spoil the book.

Initially I was still not sure, but having just finished, I know it is very well read. I have listen to it without being aware of the length of the book and fully into the story.

Whew!

This audiobook is one of the longest I have had the pleasure of listening to. The story itself leaps seemlessly between time frames and has you wondering whats going to happen next.. The overall performance is one of the best I have heard to date.

The narrator takes great care in making sure that each character is unique and makes you actually care about what is happening to the characters as they progress through the story in both time frames.

Although I confess not to be a great lover of the horror genre in general; IT is a fantastic place to begin as it's subtle nods to both science fiction and fantasy bleed through making IT a worthwhile addition to anyone's audible library who love a book rich in variety and scope.
