Customer Review #1:
 Esoteric -- but sublime -- horror
This is without a doubt one of Kings greatest novels. It is my own personal favorite. Stephen Kings undeniable abiltity for character development is at its best here.The magnificent portrayal of Evil is also stunning, as developed throughout the Derry Interludes. The creation of a personalized, creepy Darkness which inexorably links Derry to the monster It is worth the extra reading effort. What is the essential philosophical idea in this book? Simple: (King gives it to you from the get-go) Fiction is the truth inside the lie. Dare to believe in what you should not. Notice that all the children who were killed told themselves that "It" was not real. This book is all about the loss of childish innocence -- and belief -- that surrounds the process of growing up, and the story of 7 adults tied together by fate to see if they can once again embrace that absolute, simplistic belief and defeat the Evil Without a Name. One of the most superb modern novels Ive ever read!

Customer Review #2:
The first and last time I was truly terrified by ANY book
This should tell you something.....despite having, hands down, the worst final few pages of any King book IT remains the best pure horror novel he has yet written. While Bag Of Bones is (in my mind) the best novel overall, IT is the best in many respects. Never, ever have the fragile, bittersweet relationships between childhood friends been so beautifully painted by any other author Ive read, and Ive read tons. Oddly, miraculously, and suprisingly this portrait of childhood life is sprinkled like wonderful pure snow into an absolute inferno of horror. I mean this book will scare the hell out of ANYONE. Forget the appallingly pathetic TV movie that happened to have the same name (a sham of an adaptation).....this book will blow your mind, slam your back against a wall, keep you looking over your shoulder (literally), and smile (or sometimes weep) at memories it evokes of your own childhood friendships. As powerful as a wizard with a wand or God with 7 days to kill, so is Stephen King with the pen. Bow down folks because there is no better and there will never be another.

 Muy bueno
As a horror novel "It" works well, to my mind, even better than "The Shining". Not that I was much scared. I was more touched by a deep sense of childhood, friendship, and the loss of innocense, which are the most important themes in the novel. "It" comprises all our chidhood fears, but most of all the fear of becoming an adult...
