He writes the most drawn out, dull, drawn out, disappointing and drawn out books I have ever even seen. They start out okay. I think that's why people like them, the beginning is good, but no one ever gets even halfway through them.
The worstest was Insomnia. I was into it the first few hundred pages and then I realized I was wasting my life.
Eyes of the dragon was among the better ones and that was dull too.
The best ones were the first two Dark Towers. The only two books by him that I ever finished.
Never gonna touch King again, I think.

Heart of Darkness was tedious but I admired the language and that added a little spice.
