    I don’t get Stephen King. I’ve never read a thing by him that I thought warranted the accolades.

    I like some of the films based on his books, but those are all punched up quite a bit.

      No, King writes well. It’s very much from the heart and you can relate to the emotions he lays down effortlessly on every page. I think his strength is creating mysteries, and his weakness is over-explaining said mysteries.
