" 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! "

" Truely a good read, hard to get into at first but decently good story which is developing well. I'm really interested to how it all will end ^^ "

" Predictable nonsense. I'd prefer 70s and early 80s King rather than late 80s onwards. "

" 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 loved this book. The shopkeeper was ... wow. "

" In spite of the fact that I didn't love the ending to this one, and no matter how disgusted at myself I became looking forward to the misfortune of others while reading it, this is one of my favorites of King's work. "

" Great concept of getting things you really want and the trails of what you deal with in the process. Awesome book. "

" This would have been a solid three stars if not for a remarkably feeble ending. "

" OMG this book was sooo good! I don't think I've cried or shouted at a book so much before this one! "

" I recall not liking both this and Salem's Lot, but I do not remember the specific reason. They are perhaps due for a second chance. "

" Very clever plotline - I think that this was one of King's best works. He did an excellent job tying in all of the intricate plotlines and personal feuds of the characters. "

" I am not gonna lie... Don't read this in the dark, it scared the crap out of me, and made me tone down my curiosity level towards things that i want... "

" It's so amazing i read it during my english class (i was supposed to read My Brilliant Career) that teacher is fine with it. "

" Good story. Classic Stephen King. "
- Erin, 11/3/2012

" Not his greatest book but still worth reading for the other character tie ins that happen throughout the novel. Kind of cruelly funny too. "
- Loren, 7/7/2012

" very good book.. its classic king.. takes a normal town and destroys it by the end of the book... and the whole taking over by the darkness theme is done so masterfully "

" I am a huge Stephen King fan and this book did not disappoint. A frightening look into the greed of mankind. "

" One of these days I am going to re-read it in English (I read it originally in Spanish) to see if it was really as good as I thought it was. "

" 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. "

" Loved Shaw Shank Redemption but this one was way way too long and way to creepy for my taste. I'm sure Stephen King has many great ones but I'm moving toward the lighter side once again. "
- Estra, 11/27/2011

" As you'd expect from King a bit of a scary story. You have to read on to find out what will happen to each person! "

" Lol, Ive read this book 3 times over time.Its always like Im reading it for the 1st time. Read it in the afternoons or dusk.

" This was a rather intense book. yeah, I know, Stephen King, what do you expect. Just found it a bit TOO dark in parts. Wasn't in the right space to finish it at the time, but want to some day....

" 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.

" Way too long, and I didn't like the ending at all...

" It took me awhile to get into it because the storyline started slow but it ended up being a great book.

" 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.

" This I enjoyed, however not as much as Mr. King's other books.
