To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine, was just their hometown: familiar, well ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different.

In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed, and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

The story is without a doubt gripping. Stephen King never disappoints! But hats off to Steven Weber for bringing the book alive in my minds eyes.
Should I watch the movies? That is the question.

Best narration ever!

I have read this book many years ago and thought it was quite good. This time around I thought it was a bit too long.

Steven Weber's performance was however excellent. He gave life to the book and I will definitely look for other books that he narrated

Excellent performance

a very long book which gives you a real sense of presence and physicality to the setting and characters. I wouldn't call it particularly scary but that's all very subjective. I found it to be really heartfelt and sweet between it's moments of intensity and that's what kept me listening day in and day out. losses some of its steam by the end but the strength of this type of book is the pace and rythem of its second act and not so much the slow first or the overly philosophical third. Thankfully the second act (which I would argue begins at the building of the dam and goes till the end of the meeting in the library in the 80's) is the longest. while not a perfect book by any stretch of the imagination the narrator lends the often weird dialogue and bizzar jumps in logic a sense of beleavability as he effortlessly bounces between the young and old cast with very defined voices which makes it extremely easy to listen to.

A great deal

The book was thoroughly enjoyable. I felt trepidation going into it considering the length but it was a breeze to listen to. The narrator can sometimes be a but pitchy but he is excellent in presenting the terror the children must feel, I found myself experiencing actual fear sometimes.

Incredible but what else can you expect

Having seen the two recent movies first, it was a real treat to listen to this audio book together with my teenage son. The storytelling truly comes alive as the author surely intended.

The run time was a bit daunting when I first bought this audiobook, but the time flew by as I listened driving to and from work. I love this story and recommend it for those that like interesting storyteller by the way King goes from past to present.

The narrating was absolutely stellar!

It gets better each time I read/listen.

Really excellent narrator, he did a fantastic job of all the different voices.

I’m a longtime Stephen King fan but I couldn’t bring myself to read IT given how long the novel is, so this was a great way to enjoy the story.

It spans over several different time frames and jumps around a bit, but ultimately the story is tied together very well and as usual it’s delightfully over-descriptive and terrifying.

Captivating from start to finish

The performance by Steven Weber was mind-blowing and certainly showcases the power of Audible. More often than not, his narration sucked me into the world of Derry and I felt in so many ways a part of the adventure that went down. It was a masterpiece in story-telling made all the more incredible due, of course, to Stephen King's horror classic.

I would strongly recommend this title for anyone who enjoys Stephen King's novels even if you've read the book before. It's quite amazing how words are brought to life when narrated in this fashion. Movies, unfortunately (sometimes) kill a book but an Audible narration like this one preserves the wonder of the author's words but gives it a lifelike atmosphere which is hard to tear away from.

One of my favorites and a hard title to beat!

Unbelievable performance for a horror classic!

I loved the bond between the main characters. Didn’t like the scene with Bev and the boys in the tunnels. You’ll know what I mean when you get there! Doesn’t ruin the book though.

Great story
