page turner!

A good story but a bit longer than necessary

One of King's greatest stories. I loved it!

A great read! But something is missing from the other reviews given... in the latter portion of the book it gets really funny... never thought King could write an "all out screamer" while making me laugh!
As a teenager I always wondered, what was it like to be a resident of Castle Rock?Well, this is you chance to live as the "fly on the wall".

Awesome book overall... BTW, connections are made to "The Body" (Stand by Me), The Dead Zone, Cujo, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (The Shawshank Redemption), Christine, It, The Dark Half, The Sun Dog (Four Past Midnight), The Library Policeman (Four Past Midnight; a thin reference, but a reference nevertheless), The Night Flyer (Nightmare and Dreamscapes) and The Dark Tower series, WHEW!!!

A wonderful new store has opened in the little town of Castle Rock, Maine. Whatever your heart's secret desire - sexual pleasure, wealth, power, or even more precious things - it's for sale. And even though every item has a nerve-shattering price, the owner is always ready to make a bargain. In this chilling novel, evil is on a shopping spree and out to scare you witless.

Oh, very good! Looks right inside you, finds out what your weakness is, and destroys you (and everyone around you) through it. As usual, King's "horror" stories have a much deeper side if you can look through the scare to find it. The message is there!
