When Buster came home and found the citations posted all over his house I have never laughed so hard while reading a book. The shit King came up with to put on the notes was comedy genius. The way he builds up to that moment was perfect. There’s some very memorable moments that take place in this book that I’ll always remember.

My favorite Stephen King work of all time is Skeleton Crew. I'd love to see you take a dive into some of those stories. The Reach is my personal all time favorite, and the way he incorporates that line of "do you love" throughout the anthology is brilliant.

Needful Things was my gateway drug into the Stephen King universe. Still holds a very special place in my heart, It may be time for a reread even though I have a ever growing and looming back log of books to read lol.

Needful Things was amazing. Feel like it's underrated in general but properly rated by Constant Readers. Has to be in my top-10. Leland Gaunt is probably the most unique villain King has ever written. His actions aren't even like straight up evil. It's more like sinister hijinks. 10/10

I read Needful Things for the first time a year or two ago and found it strangely relatable to things happening today, especially around toxic people/influencers who are able to spread negativity through others, getting them to hate one another over petty things, and causing mass chaos over time. Like Gaunt, these people are most fearful of others who stand for good and truth.

It’s nice to get a deep dive on a novel from you. Can’t wait for your take on Holly!

The king has returned! But that is one of my favorite book of all time old! God it is so good. Glad to see you back and I hope you’re in great health!

This is my favorite Stephen King album and it is so insightful as to how a local community falls apart.

DON'T CALL ME BUSTER!!!

So glad to see you posting again! I’ve read all of King’s books and I have been wanting so much to reread NEEDFUL THINGS!

[blakedeines]

LETS GO! My favorite Booktuber posted again! And it’s a King review. Best Friday ever

[osefsadiqi]

Ive been planning to read Needful Things for years, after some of the previous novels that were set in Castle Rock. Can't wait to read it. I also wonder about your thoughts on Stephen King's new novel Holly?

[Quester]

I've discovered stephen king books thanks to you and your videos. I've read needful things, pet sematery and revival so far using your top 50 sk books ranking as a sort of a guideline. I can't thank you enough, you had a major part in rekindling my love for reading.

[EivorsRaven]

Glad you posted this video, I have been going back and forth on starting either Duma Key or Needful things. Great video Jimmy!

[plebbythepleb]

Ay, it's awesome to see you back reviewing one of my favorite Stephen King novels! Take care, Jimmy!

[amiyoshikawa]

Ah! Happy to see you and a new Stephen King video 🙂 I seriously need to get my hands on this book. Been wanting to read it for so long!

[angelaholmes]

I really enjoyed needful things the book it's definitely one of kings best but unfortunately so underrated

[MJ-vohq]

Great timing Jimmy! I just bought a copy, literally 30min ago.

Jimmy, hello from Ukraine!
Truly love your work and content.
I wish you had a bit more videos, but I totally understand it’s not your main focus in life, so still appreciate what you’ve been doing.

Needful things is probably the first movie I watched in terms of “King’s” movies and it was interesting. Looking forward to read it someday.

Once again, thank you!

This was my 2nd or 3rd Stephen King read (probably about 15 years ago) and so many scenes from this still really stick out in my mind

[kimberlynewsom]

I loved the movie of Needful Things, it's one of my favorite movies. It was because of that movie that I wanted to try reading some Stephen King. Sadly, I couldn't get into the book, but I really liked hearing about it from you here. I like that the movie is very similar to the book (if I understood you correctly). To me Leland was just Satan outright, that was my interpretation from the movie. I didn't realize (since I'd only seen the movie) about the Ace Merrill connection from Stand By Me (The Body), very cool! Thank you for another great video!

[tracidavis]

One of my all time favorites. Couldn’t wait to watch this video. Thank You!
