Story
Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Review of Steven King's Revival
- By Jose N. Alaras on 2019-03-05
Written by: Stephen King
Publisher's Summary
"Stephen King never stops giving us his all" (Chicago Tribune) in this number-one national best seller about the idyllic small town of Haven, Maine, and its encounter with a deadly evil out for a diabolical invasion of body, soul - and mind.
Writer Bobbi Anderson becomes obsessed with digging up something she's found buried in the woods near her home. With the help of her friend, Jim Gardener, she uncovers an alien spaceship. Though exposure to the Tommyknockers, who piloted the alien ship, has harmful effects on residents' health, the people of Haven develop a talent for creating innovative devices under their increasingly malignant influence.
In this riveting, nightmarish story, Stephen King has given us a "brilliant, riveting, marvelous" (The Boston Globe) novel. "You will not be able to put this down" (Los Angeles Times Book Review). And the next time someone raps at your door, you may want to keep the chain on. It just might be the Tommyknocker Man.

Narrator elevates a so-so book
Tommyknockers is one of King’s book I got more appreciation for as the years went by & I revisited it. Edward Herrmann is a big part of that. Great voice & the right cadence. The book takes a while to get going but it picks up. A good one to listen to in the summer.

Highly underrated eighties horror
This is actually an extremely engaging novel by Stephen King. It is often overlooked because it was the follow up to IT which was a publishing phenomena. The narration is superb - just superb - and the audiobook is a wonderful way to experience this great story written at the height of King’s great era when he was burning up the bestsellers list and establishing the stuff of legend. Give it a try!

Definitely King..but among his weakest works
This book incorporates all of the elements that make Stephen King novels uniquely King: a relatable protagonist entangled in an inconceivable (often paranormal) situation; a gritty suburban modern American setting populated with both admirable & flawed/unlikable denizens; pull-no-punches true-to-life dialogue; uncomfortably vivid nightmarish descriptions; and relentless pacing. This one, unfortunately, also aspires to hard Science Fiction (alien technology/cultures/colonization) - which he is not very good at - and expounds on themes like hubris, intuition, aggression, and altruism - the philosophizing is uncharacteristic. The author further includes prolonged stretches of self-indulgent explorations of addictions.
Unlike most King novels, there is a *lot* of extraneous material in 'The Tommyknockers'.. this 28 hour book could probably have been delivered in 20. The book is still recognizably King, but just doesn't meet his usual standards.
On the good side of the ledger, Edward Hermann was hired as the reader. Hermann reads in an interested manner (he clearly enjoys the book), and delivers in his typical smooth baritone (he is easy to listen to for hours - this book would be great on a looong drive). Hermann's timbre, tone, and cadence are unparalleled.
The subpar writing and "adequate" production standards are almost made-up for by the exemplary narration.
Taken altogether, this audiobook rates a mere 7 stars out of 10, but it's worth the Credit. Those who are unfamiliar might do better trying something else in the King bibliography first, but his fans won't be disappointed (in fact, there are a couple of 'It' and 'Dead Zone' Easter Eggs in this one).
[*Note: Don't be put off by fears that the sound editing is so bad that it cuts off words. King is merely guilty of overusing the contrivance of cutting off his characters in the middle of a tho-]

Great narration - Great story
This was a fun read/listen. I hoped for some more creepiness and horror from the ‘aliens’ in this novel, as the setting left plenty of opportunity for some great scares, but there was very little of that. However, the lack of horror aside, this was a very good sci-fi novel. Listening along definitely helped to get through the second half of the book as it became overdrawn in some parts.

Better Than Expected King Goes Sci-Fi, Dark, Weird
I've always been a big fan of Sc-Fi, even before I became a fan of King, so it was only natural that I eventually came to read this book. King writes a "sci-fi" novel, what could go wrong?
I would only reccomend this book to fans of King or other hardcore sci-fi fans and even then, I wouldn't expect everyone to leave this book having enjoyed it.
I was actually pleasantly surprised. This book was bigger, grander, more enticing than just the mere sum of its parts. It's more than, "ooo King wrote a book with a flying saucer and aliens!" This book is about obsession, curiosity killing the cat, hubris without moral compass, progress for progresses sake, innovation without imagination, cold calculation without purpose, destructive impulses, the drive to improve, a hunger for excess, addiction, and the self destructive forces at the root of the darker side of human nature.
I read an interesting review of this book that calls this King's opus on addiction. Written at a time when he was drinking the heaviest and regularly coked up out of his mind. You can just feel the self loathing peeling off of the page as you plow through it. There are certain passages that are hard to read because of the suicidal and existential dread that weighs the narrative down in certain sections. It's almost a punishment to the reader and a self indulgent self-hatred fest in some of the longer passages of internal dialogue with the main character.
...but I honestly wouldn't change a damn thing. I was thinking about this a lot today, I don't think you really could edit anything out of this book and have it still carry the same weight. It's not King's best book and it's certainly not hard sci-fi, but it's unique and powerful and beautifully grotesque. It had a raw power about it that captured my imagination and wouldn't let go (once I was about half way through it). It can be hard to get through and on to the damn point, but once it picks up steam, the narrative rolls along to a crazy flurry of a conclusion.
lastly, I really enjoyed how mysterious, unexplained, and stupidly pointless a lot of the Tommyknockers alien back story was! I'm a huge hard sci-fi fan and hard sci-fi can tend to over explain or scientifically explain all the magic of the narrative away on the front end. Approaching a sci-fi theme with more of a mystery, suspense angle was a fun twist on familiar themes. And the absurdist idea that the aliens are somehow pointless, futile, unintelligent, in their destructive, directionless, and ill-guided hubris was an awesome spin on the extra-terrestrial theme! Bravo.

spooky and enthralling
The narrator does a great job with this Stephen King signature. Tommyknockers knocking on your door... I love how King fills the space between the book covers with a story about 1 person and the situations they face. There are very few characters you get to know but don't care, it's all about the one, unlike any other. Edward Herrmann, I hope you sought some psychiatric help after embodying Gard for this book. Great all around, excellent to listen to.

One of King’s Worst
Stephen King himself called this an “awful book.” It’s all over the place with only one interesting character. There are more questions than answers by the end. Some of the imagery is more ridiculous than believable. It conjures no feelings of discomfort let alone horror.
The narration, however, was well done. Herrmann does his best with the material given.

Incredible and interminable.
This book haunts as much as any book I've ever read. Originally I read it shortly after it was released and I have never forgotten disturbing sections of it, particularly the chilling rhyme about Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers (knocking at my door.) This time, through, it felt like an eerie old friend, sitting in partial darkness, only revealing himself a part at a time, as the sun rose. Although it seems to go on forever, there is not a single unnecessary word. King has a mystic ability to weave phenomenally complex stories into a tome you want to put on your shelf and rest easy, knowing it is there whenever you need it. Typically, King has taken innocuous objects or people and slowly colored them with increasingly dark tones and colors. After reading "It," can you ever look at a clown the same way? It is clearly time for me to reconnect with this man's work - before it reconnects with me.

Not Stephen Kings best
Edward Hermann's narration made this worth listening to. Had this been a book likely I wouldn't have finished. Some parts are brilliant; others left me wondering where is this going? I like Kings oldest novels best (e.g. The Stand, The Dead Zone) but also love 11.23.63 which also great for comparison.

This is a tale for when your in the mood to lose yourself.
I listened to The Tommyknockers during a time when a lot was going on in my life that I had no control over. The story was embedded with King’s wit and humor, told with voice and inflection that brought home an entertaining tale, hitting the spot and quenching my need to escape.

Meh
One of my least favourite Stephen King books. The story starts off decent but sort of drops off in my opinion as it goes on. Good performance however.

Top notch!
One of my all-time favorite Stephen King novels from many years ago. It was great to listen to after reading it several times in the past. Hermann did a magnificent narration.

Si tu, tout comme moi as été interpellé un moment où autre par l'origine de toute cette technologie, qu'on comprend à peine et on est très loin de maîtriser...n'écartes pas tout de suite l'explication des tommyknockers.
