Needfull Things finished!

[SharonC]

I just started a re-read of Needful Things. This is one of my favourites. I didn't feel the ending was rushed at all. One of the parts I really enjoyed was the Catholic-Baptist story. God is on our side, and your side is completely wrong and you are going to hell! Priceless.

Just finished it too and thought it was an exceptional read - Leland Gaunt for my money is the most loathsome, evil character I can recall in a SK story and I was just sorry Alan P didn't waste him at the end.

I think the Talisman reference is to Gaunt's "car" no?

Quick question - I have not yet read Dark Half - will it spoil it now I have read this?

Cheers

No way. Read on constantly.

I just finished needful things and I liked it...I think.
By the end I just wanted it to end.
There was no one to root for. Alan was the "hero" but he didn't do anything. The ray of light felt forced and a nice neat ending.
Every single other person in the book was unlikeable. Even Pauly left me cold. (Alright, I liked Norris, but he was this story's Tom Cullen)
I liked the "dings" to the other King books, but they wern't as good as, say dreamcatchers' nods.
Overall it comes in at the bottom of my King list thus far.
I don't know whats next. maybe I'll wait for full dark.

I have just read it too, and there is a store in my town that is a real estate office that has a green awning.... think about Needful Things everytime I walk past.

I'm so close to being finished!!!! And I know what you mean. When Ace and Buster were planting the bombs , when Polly's necklace ended up having a mutant spider monster thing in it , finding out Ace killed Alan's wife and son , and everything else, there were no hard parts or drag parts. I love this book!!!!!!!!!!
