Stephen King writes pop fiction for the intellectually challenged.
Its clear you never read the book, so I wonder why you bothered posting a comment. I never promoted King’s works as a whole I only stated that this one book had merit and depth.
Since you haven’t read it one would guess that you either like to be confrontational just for the sake of the confrontation or you wish to present yourself as a supior intelect above such rabble who would read something that you consider trash even if you yourself haven’t read it, what other answers are? What else would you have to gain from making a comment on a subject you are not wholely versed on?
King’s “The Stand” is nothing like his other works or at least the few I tried to read and it is deeply spiritual, live afirming, and also shows you never know when or who God may call upon to serve.
