Stephen King Suffers from Diahrrhea of the typewriter, he runs on and out about some shit that doesn't need to be explained while not finishing some other things that he should.

Miscellaneous thoughts on some of his work:

Insomnia - Could fucking cure it trying to read it.

Eyes of the Dragon - Probably one of his best, too bad it's geared more towards a young reader

The Stand - Personally I liked it, the end was expected as it's some diatribe of good vs. evil that never ends

Needful Things - Another of my favorites, probably his last book that I really liked.

The Green Mile - Was fun to read this in 80 page installments, this was a good story.

It's funny how after Needful Things / Green Mile - The Accident mainly, but maybe Gerald's Game came out prior, unsure - his work went to absolute crap.

I didn't care for The Shining, or Tommyknockers tbh, too much of the aforementioned overdescription...

Most of the Bachman books were crap, only Thinner was good, and the only good thing about him writing as Bachman was The Dark Half brewed from the idea of it.

I really like most of Dean Koontz's books, but my favorites are:

Twilight Eyes
The Bad Place
Lightning

If you like Horror, let me fuckin' tell ya, that Richard Laymon is where it's at now, he's on the forefront of what I always thought horror should be, and he's not afraid to get gory.

Go pick up some of his books now:

Half.com / Books / Traveling Vampire Show

Half.com / Books / One Rainy Night

Half.com / Books / Bite

All of his stuff is fast-paced, down and dirty, and just killer. If you want a good thrill ride, Laymon is the way to go.

Insomnia and Bag of Bones were good.

The Shining was the only time I've ever been scared reading.

Tommyknockers, The Langoliers, Thinner, Christine, Pet Sematary, etc were meh.

Dreamcatcher was bad. Real bad. So was Salem's Lot.

I won't read The Dark Tower series because he just seems to be writing for the money instead of the art like he used to. I still prefer his short stories over everything.

Found The Rats in my parents attic when I was a kid and didn't leave until I'd finished it. iirc I literally didn't look up from the book once. The third book in the series Domain is still the best horror book I've ever read.

If you expect mind-blowing epiphanies from the likes of Stephen King, you are likely defined by the unique skin on your iPod.

I read the first Dark Tower book and it seemed pretty cool but after I read the second I realize he was jerking us around.

Same thing with Robert Jordan with the Wheel of Time series. I quit with book 3 when I realized he was just creating a gravy train. Good thing too I hear he died before finishing it.

I got to book 6 in The Wheel of Time after getting extremely bored of it.

I actually enjoyed The Dark Tower series...it had some slow parts but over all I'd say it was a good read.

The end kind of jerked you though, no doubt~
