Stephen King is a terrible writer. Never any plot at all. I could never understand why anyone would read his books or view the movies thereof.
**************************
I grew up in the ‘60s, reading Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and watching his movies on one of the two t.v. channels with snowy and intermittent reception. I read King’s books during the mid-to-late 1980s because they were scary.
However, my all-time favorite of King’s writings-turned-to movie is “Stand By Me.” I still find that one to be a fascinating coming-of-age movie.
Nevertheless, I determined the man himself abhorrent and do not recall the last time I read anything he has written - it’s been a looooong time.
Just saw bits of "his" movies, actually got all the way through one of his books and dropped him altogether after that.
Got the feeling that King, rather than creating an imaginary theme and writing a book from it was just jotting down stuff that had been naturally running around in his mind.
Already got enough evil in the world without having him regurgitate his version(s) in print.
And no, I don't recall which book I read...I don't waste storage on bad data.
“11/22/63” is a great novel. It’s a love story set in the period just before Kennedy’s assassination, between a man from today, and a teacher from the 60’s.
Obviously there is an attempt to stop the assassination.
I read most of King’s novels, some were good, others not so good. My favorite is the “The Stand” which is the only hardback book I have now. Gave the rest to St. Vincent’s thrift shop.
