This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much
In general, he has great ideas, but trouble coming up with satisfying endings.
Cell is a great premise, an alien signal piggybacks on cell phones turning people into zombies.
At the end of the book it was like King went “Oh? Deadline’s today? Good enough, pack it up and ship it!”
I was so disappointed by the ending to The Stand, but the rest of the book is so good that it’s still an all-time favorite.
