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. source: www.simonandschuster.com/books/It/Stephen-King/9781508217114

Ich habe das früher schon mal gelesen und vergessen wie ausschweifend das Buch ist, aber finde es ganz gut.
This is the third or fourth time I’ve read this novel over the years, so clearly I like it. I read this very slowly over the course of a year, and I think the pace of my reading got me bogged down in several sections, but I still enjoyed It.
This and The Stand are quintessential King novels, must reads for horror fans.
An okay book, which definitely shows King's leanings on politics & society -- which is funny when you consider some of the casual sexism throughout the plot. Most importantly, did we really need a prepubescent sewer orgy scene?
