Needful Things
by Stephen King
Needful Things felt like a (sort of) light-hearted The Stand. There are a bazillion characters to follow in Needful Things and King does an excellent job at letting us completely immerse ourselves in the town of Castle Rock, Maine.
One really great thing about this story was the build-up of tension. Stephen King climbs that mountain slowly but NOT tediously. I was never bored; I never said, "okay okay, now for the explodey, please." King takes his time setting up each character in this story but, personally, I didn't mind because I enjoyed getting to know them all. When things DO begin to explode, it's a wild ride for sure.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book. It even has a moral!
