Although I’ve read this book before it had been long enough
that I didn’t remember all of the details so it was still a good read the
second time around. It was also
interesting to discuss this book with someone who had only seen the movie, not
read the book, because some of the details are definitely different between the
two. Some characters don’t even appear
in the movie and some of the items purchased and tasks done are different. However, the book didn’t lose anything
between readings except for the element of surprise. It was still scary and a good read. Mr. Gaunt comes to Castle Rock and opens his
shop, Needful Things. Many of the
townsfolk find exactly the item they have wanted for their whole lives, even if
they didn’t realize it until they saw the item in the shop. Gaunt is always willing to sell, and at very
affordable prices, but he always asks for a favor in return. Some of those favors aren’t very nice, but
they aren’t actually hurting anyone, right?
Also, his merchandise might not be quite as advertised, but no one is
actually complaining All of King’s fans
and horror fans will like this book.
