Default Re: plain madness

Don't bother with the great beast of sarcasm Baron...oddly enough, I know of no one who buys King's books, but somehow they have one to lend to you.

Read several, including The Stand (all from the library ).

King's biggest flaw as a writer, or creator of stories, are his endings. There are other faults, but that's the worst.

Come on--a kiddie sex scene in IT to find the correct path in the sewers? The hand of God in the Stand igniting the A-bomb? (being that the endings suck, I can't see how these spoil the them for anyone). It's like he tries to cross a metaphysical ending with a hollywood shootem-up ending....and ends up with lameness in excess.

Right now, I'm reading a stack of Philip Dick novels. When I get to the end of them, I think, "That was pretty good," having at that very moment forgotten that the first 150 pages of it, bored me half to sleep. Like enjoying the flavor of a bite of food only after you've swallowed it. Odd.
