Publisher's Summary Stephen King's number-one national best seller about a store where Leland Gaunt can sell you whatever your heart desires - sexual pleasure, wealth, power, or even more precious things - but not without exacting some price in return. Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior. Praised as "tremendous...wonderful...one of King's best" (Kirkus Reviews). ©1991 Stephen King (P)1991 Penguin Highbridge Audio

I don't understand why King is so popular. Damned near every book he writes contains at least ONE scene of pedophilia. He's not the best narrator, either. I bought the book because I remembered how much I enjoyed the movie in my youth. I shouldn't have tarnished the memory. Like just about every other book of his, the movie is better.
As many people have already said, the music has to go. Too many times, it took away from the actual story when it was at an intense part. Also there were times that the quality of the audio was poor. Stephen King was great as usual, but the audio took away from that unfortunately.
This is by far the most disappointing book I've read/listened to by King..It was so obvious from the 1st chapter where it was going and what was going to happen next..Just a waste of time. I returned this one, it was that bad.
