Summary
Derry， Maine is just an ordinary town: familiar， well-ordered for the most part。 A good place to live。
It is a group of children who see - and feel - what makes Derry so horribly different。 In the storm drains， in the sewers， IT lurks， taking on the shape of every nightmare， each one's deepest dread。 Sometimes IT appears as an evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reaches up， seizing， tearing， killing 。 。 。
Time passes and the children grow up， move away and forget。 Until they are called back， once more to confront IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories， reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality。

tentar colocar em palavras a infinitude que carrega essa história e o clube dos otarios， foge a minha capacidade。 só sei que meu peito se encontra em chamas por ter lido um livro sobre onde a infância e a vida adulta se encontra （tipo um rio）。 tenho minhas críticas sobre como o King enrola muito em algumas partes e deixa cansativo （principalmente nos interlúdios） e a cena polêmica que poderia ter sido feita de outra forma né。。 mas tirando esses pontos， achei uma jornada tão boa！！ o sabor de enco tentar colocar em palavras a infinitude que carrega essa história e o clube dos otarios， foge a minha capacidade。 só sei que meu peito se encontra em chamas por ter lido um livro sobre onde a infância e a vida adulta se encontra （tipo um rio）。 tenho minhas críticas sobre como o King enrola muito em algumas partes e deixa cansativo （principalmente nos interlúdios） e a cena polêmica que poderia ter sido feita de outra forma né。。 mas tirando esses pontos， achei uma jornada tão boa！！ o sabor de encontrar pertencimento nas amizades de infância， a distância que a vida adulta carrega e as questões particulares de cada personagens。 e mais uma vez， o king entrega tudo。 favoritado para a vida。 。。。more

**8/2/21 I've never understood the fear of clowns。 They're goofy！ I've been to circuses and seen them on TV so I can't really grasp what causes such instinct to fear them。 For anyone who has watched the 1990 adaptation as a kid （I did， but never made me "scared"） maybe that can stick with them， and images of Pennywise surface whenever a clown is present。 But after reading this book， and reading it as an adult， well， now I get it。 IT definitely has that creep factor， that reminds me as to why I a **8/2/21 I've never understood the fear of clowns。 They're goofy！ I've been to circuses and seen them on TV so I can't really grasp what causes such instinct to fear them。 For anyone who has watched the 1990 adaptation as a kid （I did， but never made me "scared"） maybe that can stick with them， and images of Pennywise surface whenever a clown is present。 But after reading this book， and reading it as an adult， well， now I get it。 IT definitely has that creep factor， that reminds me as to why I always loved Stephen King。 This is purely classic King， at the height of his game。 Top of his stardom。 It must have been great to be Stephen King in the 80s。 Cranking out hit after hit with Cujo， Pet Semetary， Dark Tower 1 &2 -- then IT hits the shelves in bookstores and must have taken the world by storm。 I wish I had the pleasure to have read this when it was first released， to be able to go into this book blindly， with no clue as to what to expect。 Now， in 2021， this is ingrained into American pop culture， especially since the recent movies。 Even still， reading this now， was a completely new experience。 The movie adaptations do justice to the source material， in my opinion， but this book， this masterpiece， is an experience all on its own。 There's so much more to it， than the movies could ever offer。 There's multiple scenes that won't even touch visual media， that crawls under your skin and enraptures you。 Scenes like Patrick Hockstetter -- just him in general。 Whenever his name was mentioned， it was something sick/twisted。 Also， I enjoyed the Derry Interludes， and the "One of the Missing" chapters， where the story takes a break from the main plot and gives you the town histories， and past IT cycles。 All this， you can't get from the adaptations。 I don't have much more to offer， as I'm sure every aspect of this book has been reviewed， analyzed and broken down。 All I can says， is that this was the perfect summer read。 I brought this book with me on vacation， and it was great to read for hours on the beach。___________________I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to review this monster of a book 📖 。。。more

Un libro considerado por muchos como la obra maestra del autor。 Es sin lugar a dudas el libro más conocido de Stephen King， no solo por el libro en sí， sino también por sus famosas adaptaciones a la pantalla grande， que lo han llevado incluso a ser el origen de las pesadillas de muchos niños que ven en Pennywise， “el payaso asesino”， a una especie de demiurgo creador de sus mas terroríficos sueños， y actuando para otros como el precursor de su gusto por el género del terror。Este libro lo tenemos Un libro considerado por muchos como la obra maestra del autor。 Es sin lugar a dudas el libro más conocido de Stephen King， no solo por el libro en sí， sino también por sus famosas adaptaciones a la pantalla grande， que lo han llevado incluso a ser el origen de las pesadillas de muchos niños que ven en Pennywise， “el payaso asesino”， a una especie de demiurgo creador de sus mas terroríficos sueños， y actuando para otros como el precursor de su gusto por el género del terror。Este libro lo tenemos en dos ediciones debolsillo， una con sobrecubierta que nos muestra la siniestra sonrisa de Eso， y la otra con una cubierta ilustrada con una imagen alusiva a la película del año 2017。 Ambas ediciones cuentan con 1503 páginas， que si bien en un principio pueden intimidar un poco， finalmente en nuestro caso la lectura fue rápida。Stephen King nos cuenta en este libro la historia de 7 amigos， y de cómo éstos a punta de amistad y aunando sus esfuerzos， se enfrentan a un poder maligno al que denominan Eso， el cual puede adquirir distintas formas y cuya naturaleza nos es un misterio hasta cerca de la mitad del libro。 Eso es el autor de múltiples asesinatos y desapariciones de niños， creando una atmósfera de tensión y miedo entre la población local de Derry。 Es una historia que nos atrapó desde el principio， comenzando con la icónica escena de George y su barquito de papel encerado; desde entonces se sabe que en Derry cualquier cosa puede suceder。 La trama es bastante densa， pues encierra múltiples misterios generados no solo por Eso， sino también por los numerosos habitantes del pueblo。 La narración transcurre en dos frentes temporales， transportándonos alternadamente entre los años 1958 y 1985， ya que Eso， tiene un ciclo de ataques de alrededor de 27 años， por lo que los personajes que vamos conociendo meticulosamente， se representan tanto como niños y como adultos， y es que la extensión del libro permite desarrollarlos completamente， lo cual a nosotros nos pareció maravilloso， ya que permite sumergirnos de lleno en la historia， donde los protagonistas logran sentirse muy reales y cercanos。Reseña completa en https://elavernoliterario。wordpress。c。。。 。。。more

Ovo neće biti uobičajen prikaz književnog dela， jer nikada nisam preterano voleo pisati kritike knjiga koje su mi se izuzetno dopale。 Prvo， hvaliti nešto skoro bez rezervi mnogima se može učiniti kao obična reklamna kampanja naručena od strane pisca ili izdavača， a ne ozbiljno predstavljanje nekog dela。 Drugo， jako je teško čitaoca razdrmati i privući mu pažnju kada nešto hvališ;

pljuvati se može mnogo efektnije i duhovitije。 Treće， najčešće me takva knjiga jednostavno ponese i mnoge finese promanknu budnom kritičarskom oku， pa se pre pisanja kritike moram vraćati nazad i tražiti po knjizi delove potrebne za dokazivanje neke ideje， što u ovom debelom slučaju nije nimalo lako。Razlozi zbog kojih sam se ipak prihvatio neugodnog zadatka su mnogo dublji。 Pošto su se moji prilično nepovoljni prikazi （ovo je izuzetno blago rečeno） prve dve knjige u ediciji "Košmar" pojavili mimo moga znanja i bez imalo volje u časopisu Perpetuum mobile， zajedno sa oglasom i narudžbenicama za kupovinu tih istih knjiga， izdavač je pokazao beskrajno strpljenje i， iako sam očekivao da ću sledećih nekoliko decenija provesti u izgnanstvu i da će mi se svako malo priviđati fundamentalisti spremni da me skrate za pogani misleći organ， nije mi to mnogo uzeo za zlo， niti je pustio besne pse na mene， a ni pokušao da me pregazi kolima auto-škole izgovarajući se da tek sada uči i da je instruktor kriv za sve。 Ja sam mu zahvalan， i drago mi je da imam priliku da mu se odužim， a da pri tome ne moram da se borim sa svojom savešću i noćima ne spavam jer sam pisao ono što ne mislim。Dakle， shvatili ste， It （To） Stivena Kinga je jedna jako dobra knjiga。 Moja zahvalnost izdavaču ove knjige je još veća jer mi je konačno objasnio zašto je Stiven King trenutno verovatno najčitaniji i najbolje plaćen pisac na svetu。 Prve Kingove knjige koje su kod nas objavljene， uz donekle izuzetak Isijavanja， dugo vremena držale su me u zabludi da je fenomen King još jedan od američkih hirova， sličan bejzbolu i njihovom fudbalu; stvar koja se nikom normalnom s druge strane Bare ne može dopasti。 Milionski tiraži， milionski iznosi šuškavih zelenih novčanica， koje jedva i na Zelenom vencu možeš videti， primljeni za nekoliko knjiga unapred， delovali su kao nešto nespojivo sa kvalitetom u tradicionalnom， evropskom smislu。 Razjašnjenje je， srećom， jednostavno。King je majstor pisane reči。 Njegova sposobnost da vas veže za ono što čitate prevazilazi racionalne okvire i seže u samu suštinu književnog stvaralaštva。 Ako se samo letimično posmatra， čovek bi rekao da je sve jasno。 Šta je ono što najviše pogađa čoveka i gde je najranjiviji？ - dete u opasnosti。 Kod Kinga nemamo samo jedno dete， već buljuk njih koja neprekidno upadaju iz jedne frke u još veću。 Šta u čoveku budi najlepše uspomene？ - nostalgično podsećanje na prošlost。 Kod Kinga tu ima za svaku američku generaciju pomalo: marke paste za obuću koje se već decenijama ne prozivode， romantični šlageri iz mladosti， radio i TV programi iz vremena kada su mnogo više značili nego danas。 Međutim， svega toga ima i u delima mnogih drugih pisaca koji su daleko od Kingove popularnosti。 Ono što King poseduje to se ne uči niti se stiče na kojekakvim književnim radionicama i školama kreativnog pisanja。 Poneki čovek se sa tim darom rodi。 Retki， veoma retki， iskoriste ga na pravi način。Ukratko， It bi se mogao predstaviti kao roman o nastojanju grupe dece iz Derija u državi Mejn da svoj gradić oslobode sile zla koja ga ciklično， svakih 27 godina， pohodi najčešće u liku zlokobnog Klovna Penivajza。 Na samom početku romana， a u godini 1957， Džordža， mlađeg brata njihovog， uslovno rečeno， vođe Bila Denbroa， ubija Klovn。 Odmah zatim， Stiven King nas prebacuje u 1984。 godinu， gde nas upoznaje sa akterima davnih događaja， koji se， pošto saznaju da se zlo ponovo pojavilo， vraćaju u rodni kraj da okončaju borbu sa njim。 Osnovna razlika između Kinga i ostalih pisaca ovog žanra je u tretmanu likova。 Tamo gde bi se svaki drugi pisac odlučio za lakši i sigurniji put da celu priču iznese na leđima dva-tri glavna lika， a da ostali tu budu samo da daju živopisniji kolorit priči， King se iz sve snage trudi da svim likovima posveti jednaku pažnju。 Zbog toga dobijamo čitavu paletu junaka čije doživljaje pratimo s jednakom pažnjom。 Naravno， ono što druge pisce odbija od ovakvog pristupa je neprestana oštrica skretanja s glavnog toka priče koja se u tim slučajevima nadvija nad knjigom preteći da čitalac ili pogubi niti kazivanja， ili u lavirintu sporednih događaja izgubi interes za glavni tok radnje。King s tim problemom izlazi na kraj tako elegantno da se prosto pitamo u čemu je tu problem。 A problem je， verujte mi。Svako od junaka knjige se u detinjstvu， manje ili više， oseća odbačenim od okoline。 Bil， neka vrsta piščevog alter-ega， iako izuzetno inteligentan i sa karakterom vođe， ima problema sa mucanjem， naročito posle bratovljeve smrti。 Ben Henskam， budući uspešni arhitekt， pati zbog prekomerne težine i neprestana je meta napada obesnih drugova。 Edi Kepsbrek ima majku koja se patološki plaši da se on ne razboli i podstiče njegovu umišljenu astmu。 Beverli Rogan， jedina devojčica među njima， živi u rasturenoj i siromašnoj porodici， neprekidno maltretirana od strane oca。 Stenli Juris je Jevrejin， Majk Henlon crnac。。。 Mučeni istovetnom boljkom， usamljenošću， klinci formiraju grupu i otkrivaju da je svako， na ovaj ili onaj način imao kontakt sa nekom natprirodnom silom koja ubija decu u njihovom gradu。 Tada rešavaju da joj se osvete。。。 Mogao bih sada ispisati stranice i stranice objašnjenja zašto mi se It toliko sviđa， mogao bih hvaliti prevodioca što se toliko trudio da neke skoro nepremostive probleme razreši na prihvatljiv način， ali mislim da to sve nema previše smisla。 U ovim smrdljivim vremenima kada više nikome nije ni do čega i kada svakoga dana， sa onom istom bolesnom manijom sa kojom neprestano jezikom pipaš zub koji te boli， sa gađenjem slušam o dokazima našeg primitivizma， ova knjiga pružila mi je neprekidan trodnevni beg od stvarnosti i to je konačan i najveći kompliment koji joj mogu dati。 Verovatno to nije ono što nam je danas najpotrebnije， ali je jedino što vam mogu obećati。（tekst objavljen u časopisu Perpetuum mobile， početkom 1990-tih） 。。。more

Esta es la historia sobre niños MEJOR escrita JAMÁS。 PERIOD。Stephen King+Historias protagonizadas por niños= GIMME MORE。Toda la construcción me parece increíble， todos los hilos van tejiéndose para formar la historia poco a poco。 Cada pequeño punto， cosas que incluso podrían parecer al azar， terminan uniéndose con los demás para darnos un final redondo。 La capacidad de que cada personaje， grande o pequeño， traspase las páginas y sea tangible， es más que maravillosa。 Y los protagonistas， todos so Esta es la historia sobre niños MEJOR escrita JAMÁS。 PERIOD。Stephen King+Historias protagonizadas por niños= GIMME MORE。Toda la construcción me parece increíble， todos los hilos van tejiéndose para formar la historia poco a poco。 Cada pequeño punto， cosas que incluso podrían parecer al azar， terminan uniéndose con los demás para darnos un final redondo。 La capacidad de que cada personaje， grande o pequeño， traspase las páginas y sea tangible， es más que maravillosa。 Y los protagonistas， todos son muy entrañables:El Gran Bill tiene mi corazón de aquí al final de mis días。 Cada maldita línea en la que Georgie fue mencionado hacía mi corazón encogerse。Beverly， significa mucho para mí en un sentido que no puedo alcanzar a describir。Richie， el Bocón del grupo， es el irreverente， el que ríe y puede decir cosas muy estúpidas en los peores momentos jajajaja。 ¿Identificada？ ¿Yo。。。？ Mucho。Stan， mi precioso Stan representa todo el miedo y lo "ofendidos" que podemos llegar a sentirnos ante lo desconocido， lo que llega a mover muestras creencias。 Es el primero en llorar y querer hecharse para atrás， pero el grupo no lo señala ni lo menosprecia por eso。 En el fondo están tan asustados como él。Eddie， el pequeño Eds， la fortaleza que demuestra en cierto punto de la novela， la madurez， incluso la osadía， y por supuesto， la devoción al Gran Bill me conquistaron por completo。Mike， aunque de niño no siento que haya podido brillar realmente， Mike adulto， Mike el de los Interludios， el que reunió el valor necesario para traer a sus amigos de vuelta a Derry， ese es el que se gana su lugar en mi corazón。Ben， es quizá el que más puramente amo a Beverly y el que más hizo brincar a mi corazón de alegría cuando se unió al grupo。 。。。more

July monthly reading challenge: IT by Stephen king！ Wow this was so very enjoyable。。。 and long。 I’ve had this since 2017 and always pushed it to the side because it was so long。 I decided to pick it up for the month of July and read about 40-50 pages a day and I got through it on time！！ I would say for the story and character development as a whole， I would give this a 5/5 star， easily。 But unfortunately the unnecessary long ass length of this book， the often weird and disturbing scenes， and the July monthly reading challenge: IT by Stephen king！ Wow this was so very enjoyable。。。 and long。 I’ve had this since 2017 and always pushed it to the side because it was so long。 I decided to pick it up for the month of July and read about 40-50 pages a day and I got through it on time！！ I would say for the story and character development as a whole， I would give this a 5/5 star， easily。 But unfortunately the unnecessary long ass length of this book， the often weird and disturbing scenes， and the info dump （especially in the beginning） brings my rating down to a 4/5 star。。。 still not too shabby。 For August， I will be reading two shorter books for the entire month。 They will be Gone Girl and The Woman in the Window so stay tuned for that！！ 。。。more

I believe everyone can find a piece of themselves in this novel。 Because this is a tale of the childhood， and the people you've shared it with。 It's a story of all the terrible things that kept you awake at night or that didn't allow you to go all alone in a dark room。 But it's also a reminiscence of riding a bicycle at full speed， eating ice cream on a hot summer day， building a secret lair and so much more！ Finally， it's a legend of how you finally overcame your childhood fears and faced the a I believe everyone can find a piece of themselves in this novel。 Because this is a tale of the childhood， and the people you've shared it with。 It's a story of all the terrible things that kept you awake at night or that didn't allow you to go all alone in a dark room。 But it's also a reminiscence of riding a bicycle at full speed， eating ice cream on a hot summer day， building a secret lair and so much more！ Finally， it's a legend of how you finally overcame your childhood fears and faced the adult life。Long before the end of the book I was already perceiving the Losers as my friends。 They all had different strengths and weaknesses， and the combination of those created the strong bond between them。 It felt upsetting seeing any of them being bullied or humiliated in any way。 Together， they gave each other courage， boldness， and endurance。 And they made a promise， which they had to honour， even if it means remembering their darkest nightmares。 （view spoiler）[It was sad to think that they almost completely forgot their childhood before Mike gathered them for the final confrontation with It。 But at least they never forgot the promise。] （hide spoiler）]（view spoiler）[What was even sadder for me was the death of Eddie。 It's clear he did not possess the strongest personality。 Nor was he the bravest or smartest one。 But he was such a sweet person， despite being controlled for years by his overprotective mother。 He was ready to risk his life and health for Bill on multiple occasions， and finally he died for his friends。 I know Stan also died， but it happened so early in the book。。。and obviously Stan was the weakest link。 So， the emotional impact was not even half as strong as for Eddie。Still， one of the best moments the novel for me happens towards the end， when Beverly looks at a window and sees in the reflection the surviving Losers club members， joined by Eddie and Stan。 It's only a paragraph， so brief that it can be overlooked。 But it's so beautiful in showing the strong connection between the seven members of the club， and the fact that even death is not able to destroy this bond。 （sp） （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

End my suffering cause this book was not what I expected。 Cringe dialogue， confusing and boring。 Made me laugh instead of fear。

I thoroughly enjoy reading Stephen King's work， however It has no right to be as long as it is， for the detail and story it tells do not need this much indulgence。 That is the leading issue I have with King's writing。 He turns a delicate， great story （Misery） into something that is stretched past its breaking point。 It dilutes the horrors， and much of the issue with It is how much it tries to offer。 Comparing the past and present chapter by chapter is a nice enough way of showcasing two stories， I thoroughly enjoy reading Stephen King's work， however It has no right to be as long as it is， for the detail and story it tells do not need this much indulgence。 That is the leading issue I have with King's writing。 He turns a delicate， great story （Misery） into something that is stretched past its breaking point。 It dilutes the horrors， and much of the issue with It is how much it tries to offer。 Comparing the past and present chapter by chapter is a nice enough way of showcasing two stories， but the excerpts of detail in between it feel unnecessary or just a bit pointless。 At least it is written well。 。。。more

King is an amazing horror writer but I feel he has trouble writing the bad guys demise， but none the less， combined with his plausible writing ability it still goes as an amazing read for horror lovers and horror wannabes。
