Stephen King is an incredible writer. The master of horror!! Some would say his movies aren't that great but I'm not one of them!! Even Maximum Overdrive was pretty good!! The Shining was the best along with Carrie and Christine!! Bookwise his short stories are my favorites. Skeleton Crew was a great collection of shorts and Needfull Things was a great single story book as well.

Side: Yessssss!!!

Yes he is.

I like Stephen Kings earlier works he now seems to work on the basis of why use one word when three will do which I find slow down the plot progression of his novels a lot of his stories are based on his own fears and he does'nt shy away from sensitive or awkward subjects. When asked why he allows Children to die in his books he said it was beause of his fear of losing his own Children I think that is why he is so popular becuase using his own fears he taps into the fears of the rest of us. He also takes responsibility for his writing he wrote Rage before there had been Highschool shootings and after a couple of shootings and the novel was discovered in the posseions of the shooter, even though there was no direct link to his novel and the shootings he voluntarily had his Publishers remove the book from print as he wanted to try and prevent copy cat killings. The Films made from his books are a very hit and miss affair some have been brilliant and some have been awful

Side: Yessssss!!!

I do like his books and movies. He knows how to write scary stories.

If you want a real debate, don't make the argument to your opinion into a negative comment meant to insult people of the other opinion. It's annoying to see people post these debates just to validate their preferences.

Stephen King is a great writer; I just believe he can be too morbid. His fantasy series, The Dark Tower, started off WONDERFULLY. I was drooling over the first 4 or 5 books of the 7 part series. But, near the end, there was nothing but death and destruction. I put the final book down halfway through, and haven't been able to continue more than a few pages each time I pick it up. Stephen King is a great writer, no doubt; But I find that his style really watered everything down in this case. What started off as a brilliant and exciting story, with a tinge of pain just to give some definition to the plot, evolved into this grey amorphous mess. It sapped the life out of the series for me, and looking at some of his other work I feel the same way.
