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.

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

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?
It must have been 20 years or so since I read this book. It took me two days, because I just couldn't stop. I was horrified and I loved it. Even the weird parts with the turtle and the gangbang. I might need to read it again to remember what the hell that was about.
I am currently listening to 11/22/63 which features the town of Derry and some characters from It. Less horror, still very thrilling.
