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).

So my biggest issue is that there is about 300 maybe 400 pages of story and then 700 to 800 pages of tangents. It's too much. The story is pretty good, with the ending being very good. The last 200 pages were definitely my favorite despite the few tangents during them. I probably would have given the book 2 stars if the ending wasn't so good. If this book was severely edited down, it could be an amazing book. Definitely not for everyone.

'It' was 1st published in September 1986. The book was last published in January 2016. Don't be misled into thinking this is a new book or publication by Stephen King. If you want to know when his or any other book being sold by the Play Store was published, I advise you to "Google" the title and author for up-to-date facts. Being I'm 67 y.o., I recognize a multitude of the titles being sold as being from when I was in my 20's. This is relevant when it comes to the self-help books becomes the information contained within those pages are pertinent to the problems of those eras that too often no longer exist. So check the publication dates for the more recent books, especially those that reference mental/health care advice. Also, history, since new information comes out quite often that challenges and/or changes those days and facts.

If I can remake any classic, it would be this... My aunt used to fill my shelves with clowns... The type of Imagery and connection I have with these clowns is the type to make sure you never watch another scary movie ever again lol jokkkes. King will eat this one up, and make some more millions gauranteed!
