It Audiobook

" The Best book ever written in horror fiction in my opinion. Every fan should have read this "

" Awesome book so detailed and so wanting more . Up there in my top 10 "

" Scary AF. It gets to the roots of what made you, in your childhood, frightened! Cuts to the base of your fears but gives you a way out with the strength of your friends. "

" My favorite book of all time! The reader was exceptional and breathed new life to the novel. "

" IT is one of my all time favourite stories. In preparation for the movie, I decided to purchase the audiobook and listen to it. I am so happy that I did. Steven Weber is an amazing narrator. He brought all of the characters to life for me, in such a fantastic way. I will definitely be listening to this one again and again. "

" This book is so good. The characters all have a great story "

" Awesome book! Narrator did an excellent job! Highly suggested! "

" i enjoyed "

" A long but well read book. Steven king with A great story as usual. "

" This is a great book, i own the hardback but it wasn't until i heard the audio book that i felt connected to it. "

" I read this some time ago when I was going through a Stephen King phase. I found it disturbing. To this day clowns frighten me. "

" Definitely one of the scarier Stephen King books I've read - though I've finished it, I'm more terrified of clowns now than whilst reading it. The ending is rather well done for King despite what people have to say. It is long but King's signature writing style makes it go by quickly and keeps you turning the pages. The only problem I have with the book is the lack of connection that I felt with the characters. Though their histories are very well developed, as well their personalities, I just felt this disconnect throughout the entire book. I think it may be from the way the reader is presented with two slices of time, one from the characters' childhood and one from their adulthood while little is given about the time in between. "

" Overall, this book was probably worth reading. At almost 1100 pages, that's saying quite a lot. However, a length between 300 and 600 pages would have really improved the overall experience. The length made it impossible to really maintain suspense simply due to the amount of time required to get through it. Also, it felt Bill Denbrough was a clear stand-in for Stephen King, so the relentless singing of Bill's praises got a little old. On the positive side, the ending was pretty good, and did justice to the long, slow buildup, which is rare for books that attempt to be epic. "

" This is my favorite book by Stephen King. I read it the summer after sixth grade, and I identified very much with the characters. It was probably the first *big book* that I read, and I remember reading it voraciously, being scared, and feeling weird at the end. The parts when the characters were adults were above my head, but the rest was very compelling. "

" My favorite King novel. It's amusing that King mentions in his book On Writing that a writer must be brief and not include extraneous description, while he has been notorious for doing exactly that and this is no exception. IT has to be looked at not as a single story (which, if it is, the story is remarkably shorter than this thick volume appears) but as a description of a time period - the late 50's - in a small town on the east coast where terrible things are happening. It's not just about a monster, it's about human nature. Like with a lot of King's best works, the heroes are children - and this is what makes it so scary, because they are the ones we least want to see these things happening to. If you grew up reading Goosebumps or Animorphs or any of those other series with good clean western kids defying the odds to save the day... this book will have quite the effect on you. "

" This was so close to being another amazing book by King, but it got really weird and wildly inappropriate at the end and just really messed up my ability to enjoy the characters I had learned so much about. This must be a prime example of one of King's famous bad endings. I don't regret listening to the audiobook, but will probably not re-read it. Steven Weber's narration was outstanding, one of the best performances I've heard lately. "

" I'm good on this one... a bunch of grown up nerds fighting a sewer clown? Fuck's sake man, come up with something slightly plausible. "

" Amazing...but I saw the movie 1 million times first and it was almost exactly the same. "

" Terrified me as much as the Movie did when I was a kid....though linked a lot of his bad characters. "

" Stephen King is the master and this book scared the $#&! out of me. Must be because I am scared of clowns! Great story - great read! "

" I was a little let down by the last chapter but it was still a great journey to get there!!! "

" Best book I think I have ever read. It was so scary. I once heard that Stephen Kings his ideas from his dreams, if that is true then he has got some pretty messed up dreams. This book was great I enjoyed it very much. "

" Awesome...until the end. "

" One of my all time favorite King books! To this day, I think of it as I get near drainage grates, etc.! "

" The best fiction book that I have ever read. Stephen King's inhuman passion for detail keeps this book from being rushed or glanced over. From begining to end, he never pulls any punches. "

" Scary book in two parts about an evil clown who lives in the sewer and frightens children and even murders a couple and their journey into adulthood still haunted by this evil monster "

" This book is one of King's best works. I loved this book. It is one one of King's scariest, and for King's books I feel the scarier it is, the better. A brilliant read!!! "

" My absolute favorite book when growing up. I just reread it and while I didn't have the some awesome book feeling, it was a great read. "

" One of the great books of Kings career --- still thinking about it years later and would recommend it to anyone. "

" Scared the crap out of me "

" Scared the crap outta me!!! Scar I'll never heal "

" Despues de 5 meses logre terminar uno de los mejores libros que he leido en mi vida por segunda vez... Tantas emociones encontradas en esas mas de 1500 paginas sobre los miedos y la amistad... Jamas voy a dejar de admirar a Stephen... Aqui abajo todos flotamos, y tu tambien flotaras :D "

" very long....read it after the movie the first time. Can't get tired of reading Stephen King "

" Very good.... especially if you read it when you are younger... =D "

" I never saw the movie and was going through a "Stephen King Phase" where I had to read all his books. This book was SO good. Detailed, descriptive and could take you to the past and back to present time without skipping a beat. "

" as a person with a clown fear this book was scary as hell. if only the movie was as great. "

" It's been a long, long time since I read this beast of a book but I bloody loved it. "

" Best book I've ever read... period. "

" Awesome book. A must read for fans of horror and suspense "

" As one of the many kids that were scared to death when the movie came out I just HAD to read this book. It was too long and depressing for my liking. Almost made me want to vomit at some point. Great development of the characters, it really does feel like you are reading about real people. "

" Very freaky book. Can be a little confusing at times, but an overall good sci-fi thriller "

" Loved the book, loved the movie! "

" Stephen King is sick. What he makes the kids do at the end of the book, should be illegal to even write about! "

" Everything was superb, until the alien spider. "

" This book scared the crap out of me. I'm still afraid of clowns to this day! "

" I think this was my favorite book from Stephen King! "

" This book is to far out there to even be scary ... haven´t read any thing else by King, and this book didn´t make me want to try any more. "

" Normally I really like King's longer-winded books, but this one was really hard to get through without occasionally thinking that not everything was necessary to include. I still enjoyed it but it's definitely not one of my favorites from Stephen King. "

" Read this back in the day, and then saw the movie. The book was alot better than the movie. Big book, but it's a page turner! "
