You're right, King has no chance of writing a book that speaks in volumes but he does tell a good story. Funny you mention Catcher in the Rye because I read that in the same week as Old Man... maybe that's why I wasn't impressed. Catcher was such a brilliant book, I'd like to read it yet again sometime. Anyway the only reason I mentioned that book in context with King's is that I read Old Man, Catcher, Needful Things, and Animal Farm back to back and somtimes overlapping and really the only one I didn't enjoy was Old Man. To each his own. :)
