 Stephen King: "IT" (Bahasa Inggris)
Description
Amazon.com
Is there anything scarier than clowns? Of course not. And who knows scary better than Stephen King? You see where we're going. It puts a malevolent clown (given demented life by a powdered, red-nosed Tim Curry) front and center, as King's fat novel gets the TV-movie treatment. Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed, but an engaging Stand by Me
vibe prevails for much of the running time. The seven main characters,
as adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in their Maine hometown.
Now, the cackling Pennywise is back, and they must come home to fight
him--or, should we say, It--again. Admitting the TV-movie trappings and
sometimes hysterical performances, this is a genuinely gripping
thriller. As so often with King, the basic idea (the bond formed during
a childhood trauma) is clean and powerful, a lifeline anchored in
reality that leads us to the supernatural. --Robert Horton
Book condition : GOOD: Very minimal damage to
the cover (no holes or tears, only minimal scuff marks), dust jacket
not necessarily included, minimal wear to binding, majority of pages
undamaged (minimal creases or tears), highlighting/underlining
acceptable on textbooks as long as text is readable and it is not an
excessive amount, no missing pages. May be ex-library with usual
treatments; if so, the book will be noted as such in the comments.
