Just like Urgeok, I'm old enough that I've been reading Stephen's books as they came out,starting with Carrie when I was 10 years old. I have never seen Stephen King as a horror writer. Nothing that he writes scares me. He is, however, a master storyteller. I've read everything that he has written and have kept all of his books, just because I am that constant reader he is always talking about.
I was never bored until he got hit by the van and then suddenly his stories started to suck. It was as if everything that he wrote was a screenplay for a movie. His characters became shallow and his writing was more action orientated.
I will always read each book as it comes out because I am that faithful but I will always miss the real stories.
