I've read many Stephen King books - I'm sad to say. For the most part, I do not like his writing style. I read a bunch of them because that's what was available and I had a ton of time on my hands. Really, I only LIKED his Gunslinger series - which I hear is being made into a movie(s), which I would be interested in seeing. I also liked his short-stories/compilation called Skeleton Crew. Otherwise, the guy is just SO DANG BORING & LONG-WINDED. He drones on and on and on about nothing. UGH!
