Just finished Tommyknockers yesterday night. I though it was at least good, not as good as IT or the The Stand by any means, but certainly good. Best part was that i didnt feel it the lack-lustre ending that many of his works suffer from.

The gadget making throughout and final zap-gunning of some of the Tommyknockers was excellent, and i loved the IT references two thirds in.

Regarding plot specifics, I was wondering, was there a suggestion that The ship was influencing or channelling the dead as well as the living? Early on when the television bomb is planted and blows the house up, was Jesus's reference to Brillo cream, and eventually talking like the postman's housewife's dead father in fact her father plus Tommyknocker gadget knowledge? Similarly with Bobbie ghost helping Gard to aim the zap-gun at the smoke alarm.
