he has some good books, he has a lot of shit
Nathaniel Bennett
All Authors user, wait no most Authors
Easton Mitchell
His books are like the Star Wars of the literature world. Without a good woman editor, they would be complete dogshit.
>i.e. The Prequels
Juan James
these are literally the only two possibilities, no middle ground
Jordan Ortiz
Somewhere in the middle desu. I like how he writes his characters, easily the best part of his writing next to style. Subject matter and plot ranges in quality throughout his catalog but I at least found all the ones I've read enjoyable even when they had little literary merit, surprised how much he kept me entertained through 1000+ page ones like Under the Dome and The Stand. His political views are retarded but I separate art from artist anyway.
Thomas Evans
Based and bookpilled
Kevin Hernandez
Nicely put, user. I definitely shed a manly tear or two near the end of The Talisman (which he admittedly only co-wrote).
Blake Watson
I think John David Ebert put it quite well when he said that King was a pretty good storyteller, but not a very good writer.
Aiden Perry
Thinner is the ONLY good novel by King
Cameron Hall
the first third of the stand is alright and everything else is horrible
Jordan Williams
What's a good book to read by him? Read The Shining, didn't like it (bit unfair because I saw the movie first and think it's much better). Read The Gunslinger, didn't like it. I'm willing to give him one more shot.
Adam Lewis
Honestly just read all the books that collect his short stories starting with Night Shift. en.wikipedia.org

The prequels are genuinely better films than the originals and I guarantee in 50 years that will be the prevailing view of the series
Xavier Wood
if you don't see how the prequels are better you're not literate.
Gabriel Roberts
It's the year 2040, and you've been contracted to edit a collection of horror stories by King. Would you include that Tweet in the book?
Eli Campbell
"Stephen King: Collected Tweets"
Benjamin Wilson
For me, it's William Gibson: Collected Retweets, Vol. 294. That's where he really starts hitting boomer levels scholars hadn't previously thought possible.
Andrew Miller
He also is not aloud around tasty little children.
Zachary Richardson
My newest horror story. Once upon a time there was a man named Donald Trump, and he ran for president. His use of the English language far surpasses mine.
Parker Thompson
I wish he'd just write screenplays. His stuff always ends up better as cinema or television.
Ethan Hernandez
Only Episode III, I and II are trash.
III is a masterpiece though.
Caleb Perry
II is actually my favourite. None of the others have the same effect on me as Attack of the Clones.
Jackson Butler
>His use of the English language far surpasses mine
I wholeheartedly agree with this.
Easton Wilson
The podracing sequence is capital L literature.
