" Longtime constant reader (listener for the purposes of this :) I have had many rounds with this little gem, have owed the book for years and now have the pleasure of listening to the King himself tell me the story. And what a story it is! has something for everyone, delightfully evil! "

" Finished her up this morning and it left me thinking "no more Castle Rock?" I'd have to say that this one keeps the reader wide awake with questions in your mind mulling things around constantly. This is one of the most riveting works that SK has put out even if it isn't one of the newest ones. It maintains that we all see our "Needful Things" in different lights and in rose tinted glasses. "

" I think a potentially terrifyingly accurate portrait of small town America. I'm just glad that my town isn't that small as all of these characters live here. "

" I was obsessed with SK for a long time. Some are good others were not so good. You can see my stars. I always felt obligated to finish a book but I have since found I don't. I have read all SK books cover to cover. This is a must read classic! Loved the intensity. "

" Mindless fun from King - this isn't close to his best work, but Needful Things is still serviceable horror to pass a few quiet hours. Not one you'll be fighting to put down, but still good fun.

" Back to Castle Rock (for the last time... NO!). Well a great end to the small town we learned to love. The manipulating of the characters to serve his (Mr Gaunt) purposes is poetry. He sets them up - and we watch most of them fall.. Definitely a must read.
