" features one of the most direct connections to IT found in any later Stephen King book, as Jake Epping runs into Losers' Club members Beverly Marsh and Richie Tozier not long after his arrival in Derry. He's able to get information from them concerning a side quest he's looking to carry out, as the two immediately sense that there's something special about him. When thinking about the the things he's seen in Derry later though, Jake recalls a visit to the Kitchener Ironworks, and while he doesn't know about Pennywise, it's pretty obvious who he ran into while there. Here's the passage from King's book. King has this strange way of turning the most fantastical plots into stories about people who feel very real. He writes detailed and honest character portraits, so that these characters become so vivid and realistic, likable and flawed, that we so easily believe in everything that happens to them.

The novel required considerable research to accurately portray the late 1950s and early 1960s.

also stars two of my all-time favourite King characters - Jake and Sadie. I fell in love with Sadie as Jake did. Sadie is brave, headstrong, resilient, and given her past, her outlook on life is inspiring. As for Jake, some of the decisions he makes (without giving away any spoilers) proves that he is simply a good man. To take on such an arduous task, spanning years of your life, is admirable. And with these two amazing characters, King writes his greatest love story. It is beautiful and heartfelt and REAL. It shook me to my core.

In addition, nearly every episode is directed by a different critically acclaimed director, making each week even more unique and exciting. Franco even directed one episode himself, continuing to show how he very well may be "the most interesting man in the world" (read his feature in Rolling Stone if you're not convinced).

Siendo honesto yo esperaba otro tipo de libro. Yo esperaba que el punto central de la historia fuera salvar a Kennedy, pero no fue así. El punto central, es que como lectores acompañemos a Jake en su aventura, siguiendo a través de cada capítulo su doble faceta y sus planes; es conocer la vida que llevó en ese tiempo; es acompañarlo en sus dificultades y problemas; es entender sus incertidumbres y decisiones; es ser testigos de cómo el pasado intenta por todos los medios, que Jake no altere el desarrollo de los acontecimientos; es estar a la expectativa por lo que ocurrirá en el presente tras los cambios realizados en el pasado; es reflexionar y preguntarnos permanentemente ¿Qué haríamos nosotros? ¿Perderíamos la cordura por conocer la forma como van a ocurrir los acontecimientos? ¿Nos dejaríamos consumir por la avaricia por estar enterados de los resultados de las apuestas deportivas u otros eventos? ¿Si encontráramos la felicidad en otra época, nos quedaríamos viviendo allí olvidando el presente para siempre? ¿Evitaríamos un asesinato, a pesar de que no sabemos cómo se alterará el presente? Eso, es lo más especial de este libro. Stephen King really nailed the baby-boom area. I could see it in my mind as I was listening to this audio book. This is now one of my Top 5 Favorite Stephen King novels. I really think it's a masterpiece and he is at the top of his game here. I wish I had read it sooner, but I got it now. Also, I got my tome in this year, barely. It also makes me wonder how many more masterpieces Stephen has in him. He seems to have one or more a decade. I guess 45 years of writing daily does pay off in a big way. I also have a harmonic resonance with Stephen and his work. I was born in 1974 and he published Carrie in 1974. I find that interesting. Go ahead, book snobs. Proclaim haughtily that Stephen King is not Literature. I shall retort with a Pratchett quote, "Susan hated Literature. She'd much prefer to read a good book." And nobody argues with Sir Terry. Muy buen libro, me gustó mucho. Es una historia muy bien elaborada, que me hizo realmente viajar en el tiempo.

From the Box

I was in a college class where our teacher (an otherwise fun and engaging lecturer and knowledgeable professor – and published author) said something to the effect that King’s work was “good enough for the working class”. The professor’s own novels would be prized by a more discerning literary palate and he would savor his peer recognition. La historia de amor es genial y los personajes tienen muchos matices. Nada que decir de la documentación. Aquí hay una cantidad ingente de trabajo y de precisión. a b c d e f g h Alter, Alexandra (October 28, 2011). "Stephen King's New Monster". The Wall Street Journal. This one should've been five stars for me. I think what happened was that I loved the concept when I read about the book and had envisioned something more. The story King wanted to write was all there and I truly enjoyed it. As always with King this is a great study in character and the evolution of the character. In this case using time as an added conflict that applies pressure on the character. King doesn't mess around with elaborate explanations on how or why the time travel works. It's just a simple closet in the diner that the character steps into and we're off and running. I think this works mostly because we trust King so implicitly and that if he says it true it's true. Er, no – this is just a normal living room, as you know, since it's yours. You could try to hide behind the settee but you'll have to shove it out from the wall, and she'll notice I think."
