Review
Stephen King's idea for It came from a favorite childhood image: the entire cast of the Bugs Bunny Show coming on at the beginning. He thought of bringing on all the monsters, one last time: Dracula, Frankenstein's creature, the Werewolf, the Crawling Eye, Rodan, It Came from Outer Space.
It is about a group of adults who were once troubled children in the late '50s--"The Losers." One of them is a best selling horror writer much like Stephen King (or his friend and collaborator Peter Straub). In order to defeat the protean "It" that threatens their hometown, they have to go back- -not only to the town itself, but deep into their childhood memories, to regain the talent for magic they once had. King says It is for "the buried child in us, but I'm writing for the grown-up, too. I want grown-ups to look at the child long enough to be able to give him up."
This huge, baggy beast of a novel is a favorite of Stephen King fans--second in popularity only to The Stand. Perhaps longtime fans develop mental filters for King's sloppy storytelling to tune out the repetitions and silliness. King is like the pointillist painter Seurat: if you stand too close to the little dots, the picture falls apart, and it looks meaningless. That's why he makes the storyscape so big--to take you up to that macro-level where you like the book in spite of its flaws. --Fiona Webster

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. It by Stephen King. Signet, 1987. First printing paperback with light uniformed toned pages, spine creases and corner wear, It is in remarkably clean condition despite being well read. Binding is tight, and its a solid first printing of one of King's most sought after novels (see photos). Stephen King's It is a chilling horror epic set in the town of Derry Maine where an ancient evil resurfaces every 27 years to prey on the local children. Alternating between the characters' childhood and adult lives, the story follows The Loser's Club as they confront their deepest fears to battle the shape-shifting entity. A masterwork of modern horror, blending supernatural terror, psychological drama and coming-of-age themes. Seller Inventory # 000594
