Needful things is one of my least favorite titles written by Stephen King. there are two books that he's written so far that I just can't stand and this is one of them - The other is langoliers. The story itself started out strong and then just went down rabbit holes of terribbleness. there is such a thing as too many details- just overwritten ! The performance was not very good . Honestly Stephen King should stick to writing the stories and letting other people narrate. The music that separated the chapters was just annoying . I would highly recommend skipping this title.

I am a huge fan of time travel tales and this one had a different twist which was interesting.
The narrator was good. I don't know if it was the narrator or the way the story was written but sometimes it was difficult to understand which time period the character was written.
I really enjoyed some of the twists and turns.
I wouldn't say it was a favorite but it definitely kept me interested.

I bought this title for 2 reasons. The first because I am a fan of Brendan Fraser and the 2nd because I wanted to try a different than my usual genres. Brendan Fraser's performance was good but it absolutely did not make up for the lack of depth in the story. There was only one part (at the very end ) that was surprising. I feel that a lot of the story was predictable and honestly boring. Nothing and I truly mean NO PART of the story had me craving more - just lacking. It felt like the last 2 episodes were rushed to meet a deadline.
My other issue with this title is that put today's political and social issues into the book. In my opinion, books can be an escape from the world . I do NOT want to have to roll my eyes because " my escape" just brought me back to the political and social issues facing the world today - to get the "jab" or not , transgender, attempted rape...etc.

Overall I really enjoyed the book . I kinda like the approach the author took telling it, BUT the ending was lacking. It would have been so much better if the details were given instead of a broad summation. It was a short read leaving me wanting more.

the book and the story seemed interesting and I probably would have finished it if the narration was better I just couldn't get past the VERY breathy very 1980's valley girl voice - terrible. it was like the narrator was trying to hard to would like a teenager.

I want to begin with I love the book. The idea that love could happen across the boundaries of time is wonderful. However, the narrator Scott Brick sounded completely suicidal for duration of the entire book - even during the happier moments. He made it difficult to continue listening. I truly hope I never have the displeasure of listening to him in any other future titles.

This book left me wanting better .. I was disappointed in the story. It had A LOT of potential but fell flat. The ending fell flat and was disappointing.
I must say that the narrator was fantastic and even as bad as the book was she really brought the characters to life.
