Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.
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.

On re-reading this for the second time (my first was back in about 2012 when I was still in college), I forgot how many themes are interwoven into the plot. there is definitely parallels between the clown Pennywise, and Satan. The context is even more potent when actually reading about the author's faith. He is a Christian, and this novel demonstrates that.
Definitivamente un libro que engancha. A pesar del terror y la angustia que me provocaban a veces, al día siguiente tenía que volver a él. Del libro creo que prefiero la parte más cruda, más real, que cuando King se pone metafísico y hay dimensiones paralelas y peleas mentales. Tal vez porque espero otra cosa de libros así, me choca mucho cuando hay este salto a la fantasía directa. Me sobraba totalmente la parte de la vagina mágica (wtf wtf wtf) y casi he sufrido más con las monstruosidades cometidas por humanos, que las del monstruo.
