Needful Things

I enjoyed this  short comment by a French reader about Stephen King's Needful  Things:

I am currently in the process of reading a Stephen King, which is called Bazaar. 

This is the story of a small American town called Castle Rock, who lives a life of more common, until a small shop called "The Needful" opens its doors in the neighborhood. It turns out that this little shop is wonderful because it gives us what we love the most, even if we did not know before coming! But the seller, Leland Gaunt, is charming and very charismatic, does not require any money at all, no, it takes a little although specific service in return ... He asks that the person has a turn to another resident of Castle Rock. This obviously leads to considerable tension and draws some people against each other, or even to kill .. But this is only the beginning of the downward spiral. 

Stephen King has created this work, drawing on 80 years, because at that time, everything had a price, bought everything we could absolutely, and that's where it leads us ...

I find this very well written book, and even if it is very thick and quite impressive, you'll be going through King.

It is interesting to see what  people in other countries think of the very American -- Stephen King.
