Wow, I am the complete opposite of you.
I find King to be an amazing world builder. And his ideas are so engaging.
He seriously needs an editor who can tell him when it's time to end a story.
The first half of IT was amazing, enthralling, terrifying (yes I had a tough time sleeping sometimes as I was reading before bed). The last half was utter garbage.
The Stand was one of his only works that I found engaging throughout. If a bit long at the end. But at least it didn't go from engaging in 600 pages to ridiculous for 600 pages.
It honestly feels like two authors are writing. One has created these engaging stories and characters and then someone comes in for the second half or finales of the works and just Rian Johnson/M. Night's it.
