Stephen King's Needful Things
 
Ok well i am thinking of buying needful things by stephen king and i was wondering is it any good?

i think it is actually one of his better books.

Needful things is an excellent book, but ain't all SK's books

Very good book.

Not all SK books are good thought. Seems like he can either write excellent stories or absolute shite. Never any inbetween.

I liked the movie and the book.

This is one of the few SK books I haven't read... I almost forgot about it.

The movie was okay... but I'm sure the book is 10x better.

BLOODYDAMNED 08-29-2005 12:06 AM

Yeah,I thought it was.

I was a HUGE King fan since I was a little kid (read Pet Semetary when I was 10, and haven't missed one since).

I haven't liked a lot of his stuff since Tommyknockers (which was kinda shaky, although I like it more now than I did when it came out).

Needful Things was good. Very interesting idea, and well-executed. Coulda been a better novella, though.

I appreciated that Leland Gaunt was also Flagg (who appeared in Stand, Eyes of the Dragon, Gunslinger, etc.). Little things like that tickle me. :)

I am a huge S. King Fan. However, it is not one of his better novels i think. Anyway, it can still be enjoyable...

Read that when I was younger and was almost turned away by how big the book was (over 1100 pages I think) but I ended up loving it. King does a lot of good work with char. development in that one.
