 Excellent Tale! April 18, 2008
Needful Things focuses on what the town of Castle Rock thinks is a great bargain when it turns out, they're paying more than what they've bartered for.
The characters are well written and developed; King has a way of telling how each character feels through 3rd person. Everything is tied together at the end of the novel making it very enjoyable.
Thanks to this book, I became a Stephen King fan.
Lavishingly Excellent January 31, 2008
A most intriguing and terrifying journey into the darkest depths of the human heart. Such a good read.
Another Good One November 13, 2007
This one is great.Once again much more involved and interesting than the movie even though the movie was pretty good. Be sure and read it even if and maybe especially if you saw the movie.
One of King's Best Novels! July 9, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Note: I made some Mormon angry because of my negative reviews of books out to prove the Book of Mormon, and that person has been slamming my reviews almost as soon as they are posted. Oh, well.
Your "helpful" vote is greatly appreciated. Thanks, and note that a short review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great novel. I'm just trying to give you the essence here:
An evil man opens a curio shop in the small town of Castle Rock. The shop caters to people's innermost desires. For example, there is a horse-racing toy. You make tags that have the names of horses that are going to be in a particular race. Then you put the tags on the toy horses, wind up the toy, and see which horse wins. From there you make your bet. You will win, but at a price--paid to the devil.
I couldn't put this book down. It hooked me from page one.
A great novel. June 20, 2007
I just finished this, it rocks. A great ending to Stephen King's Castle Rock stories. The only bad part of this book was the epilogue (You've Been Here Before), it was one of the worst ones I have seen. I wish King had ended it where the last view of the town was shown. Other than the terrible epilogue, this was a magnificent novel.
P.S. Stay away from the movie, it is a piece of crap and it sucks.
