In the town of Castle Rock, Maine, there is a new shop opening.

         And they wont. The things sold at Needful Things are hard to categorize, and even harder to explain. They make you FEEL. Want to meet the Beatles? I'm sure if you make the right bargain with Mr. Gaunt, he can get you just what you want. But every bargain comes with a price...

The way the relationships played out. The way people effected each other. It was amazing how they didn't even suspect it.

Sleep on it. Its a lot to take in, but it's a VERY interesting read. Worth the brain power it takes to figure it out!

A bit creeped out actually, which is odd. I read R. L. Stine when I was in Elementary, and now Stephen King, and none of them have really shook me, until now.

I think that the creepy thing about this book is how easily an outsider turned the town against itself.

It is an awesome read. A bit bloody, mabye, but wonderful. This is the type of book they will teach in english class in the future and kids will sigh and think 'Not one of these OLD books again." But then they'll love it.

It is, however, fair to warn you that it has material in it that is inappropriate for children. Sex, murder, drug use, suicide, "harsh language". Some people don't like this, and I figure I'd warn them.
