ReviewsVintage King...a magnum opus of terror...just a glance at the first few pages, and you can't put this novel aside., Epic...gargantuan...breathlessly accelerating suspense... King is our great storyteller...I imagine him as a possessed figure rocking over a smoking word processor, hunting for a beat his sentences can dance to, pounding the shocks and scares like a rock organist laying down the power chords., IT exhibits the potato chip syndrome - quite simply, you can't read just one page and stop...It is in this novel that King comes out of the closet, a closet jammed and crowded with his own monsters., A ghoul's delight...a good old-fashioned chill and shiver fest...as creepy as the finest of that genre., Chock-full of spooky stuff...a sprawling scare-fest that defines King's recurring themes and adds a new set of ambitions to the mix., A mesmerizing odyssey of terror...King writes like one possessed, never cheats the reader, always gives full measure...He is brilliant...dark and sinister., It will overwhelm you...Characters so real you feel you are reading about yourself...scenes to be read in a well-lit room only., A great scary book...a nightmare roller-coaster...packed with more chills than a Frigidaire... 'It' turns out to be the monster-dread in us all, the one that refuses to go away.

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.
