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).

Calificaciones y opiniones

Mi primera experiencia con It fue la película clásica con Tim Curry; en realidad era algo mala, pero Curry le dio una malevolencia a Pennywise que todavía me asusta. A pesar de que ya la había leído, decidí comprar el libro antes del lanzamiento de la nueva versión cinematográfica y no me arrepiento. El horror cósmico, la naturaleza humana mezquina, y el asombro ante lo fantástico son palpables en la prosa de King. Sus personajes son increiblemente reales, y su terror pausible e infeccioso. Una de las obras maestras de King y del género del horror.

Buenísimo el libro para mejorar el vocabulario, no entiendo como es que hay gente que no se da cuenta que esta es la versión inglesa del libro, hay una española aparte que cuesta más pero seguro pagaron por esta por ser más barata

Es una buena historia solo que la duración lo vuelve un poco aburrido lo cual se valora por desarrollar a los personajes y la mitología de Derry
