I like him, but for me, it’s Stephen King, a lot of his stories he goes off on a twenty page non-relevant rant.
Though, the ones where he keeps that to a minimum, are great.
Then there’s Mr. Marketer James Patterson who markets out his name to other authors making it look like he wrote the book when it was obviously someone else.
It’s Stephen king for me as well even though I do love some of his new stuff to death like fairy tale.
He is just a bit weird for me is all the way he can write his young characters just gives me really weird feelings/vibes.
I tore my way through just about king’s entire catalogue from ages 14-16 and loved most of them, but now that I’m an adult the way he writes about kids, and especially women or young girls, is quite off putting to me.
