Weird thing about Stephen King.....

Tweet

I enjoy Stephen's work incredibly. (Yes, I feel so close to him I can call him by his first name) I've read many of his books, saw the TV movies, and read his book on writing. He is great! I felt badly about his accident and gave the scowl face to every van I saw for months. He worked hard to get where he is today. I was so impressed when I learned he had written The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption I could cry. Great movies!! So anyway, I do have a beef with the man. Many of his movies (The Thing, Salem's Lot, etc.) build beautifully to this hellacious crescendo and then leave me disappointed and a little angry. Wasn't The Thing where they were terrorized by some monster in the drain or some such thing? (It's been a while since I read it) and the monster ends up being this clown faced thing. What a bunch of idiocy. And Salem's Lot seemed to go off into no where land and had a weird ending. Several others were this way. Now, Christine, Cujo, Pets Cemetery I (two was stupid too) and his earlier works were really good. He has a gift of descriptive prose that, as a writer, makes me jealous. Have you read many of his works? Do this feel this way too?
