He really is the most overrated writer of all time. There are nuggets of good ideas in most of his books, but he reliably destroys them in short order because he simply doesn’t know when to stop. Once you see it, you can’t miss it. You’ll be reading a King book, encounter a cool idea, and then watch in horror as he piles like ten retarded ideas on top of it. He can’t maintain cohesion or logical consistency in any of his stories. He always brings in some bizarre, disconnected, unnecessary elements that ruins the story.
