    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.

      Maybe you relate to the emotions “he lays down effortlessly on every page”, but I sure don’t. If you enjoy reading King, go for it, read it, even share your opinion and preference to contrast mine.

      No need to tell me my opinion is wrong. Both things can be true that you like King’s writing and I don’t.

        When I said “No”, the tone wasn’t “No. You are wrong. Prepare for assimilation.”, it was a gentle musical inflection of “nooo, here have a sandwich and let me tell you about the butterflies I love so much.”

          👍 comment retracted then. I’ve been getting quite a bit of “your opinions are trash” stuff lately, it’s been feeling like some of the reddit subs I had blocked back in the day.
