Opposite? Then who is your favorite author?
I meant most people I know hate him, hence the opposite.
Hard question for me. Depends. As a novelist?

Oh, I see.
I enjoy King a great deal. Peter Straub is another favorite.
Evan Hunter is one of the best in my book!
I really don't have a favorite though. I read what and who I'm in the mood for.

Very close to the people i've talked to.
But you see his books arent that horrish but more incoherent since he writes them when he's drug induced and the more drugged he is the more people have liked it. These books come from a yuppie era where doin' weed, reading, was being hip regardless if you know what you read or knew much of the source. That's all part of his appeal.
Films are heavily adapted and made better than the books for the most part.

Then you havent read his other shit. He was probably doin' lsd, acid, and base in a cocktail with a depressing morbid mood. Like the pet cementary, the shining, salem's lot, it, cujo, dead zone, carrie. I can send you to author sites but mentioning the king is a sure way to be seen as a brain dead zombie. I wouldnt be surprised if he used ghostwriters and a lot of editors.
shareKing is an excellent writer and one of my favorites, but he does tend to be somewhat sloppy. His book "The Stand", for example, is his masterpiece, but it still has a bunch of errors in it, most of which a good editor would have caught.
It was said that Lloyd, one of the characters from "The Stand" at one point, quit school after the sixth grade but later on said that he dropped out after repeating his junior year three times. Mother Abagail's mother was described as forty in 1902, but her sons at the time were rapidly approaching middle age, which I took to be in their mid-thirties. The conclusion can only be made that her mother started bearing children before she reached seven years.
There are many others.
For more examples, see the thread on Goofs in the board for "the Stand'. It is one of the longest threads there.
I just looked at that thread, is that your IMDb persona?
It's very perceptive, I wonder why those mistakes weren't picked up in the editing.
I am the thread's OP, yes.

There was speculation that King would not let his work be edited, especially in the later years. I don't know if this is true or not but it would help explain why so many of the errors made it into print. share
lol.
As I said drug induced. If your on a trip yourself, it could be one hell of a ride.
I'm sure most of his fanatics could careless and just blindly follow their God.
He's the best!
shareWell who can argue with God.
