That would have probably been from my lips dearest.
As a reader I never much liked
reading King, I find him to wordy. Some people like 3 pages of description of a single room before the author even tells you why the character entered the room. I happen to like my books with detail but make it more heavy on the dialogue and action.
As for the stories King tells..... they are decent and creative. People who claim a writer tends to retell stories and uses the same type of wording and pacing need to realize that writers are human and write the best way they can and yes it maybe repetitive...... But for critics of ANY author I defy YOU to write a bestseller and follow it up with more, each completely different. I have a feeling 99.99% of King's critics couldn't even complete 10 chapters let alone 1 publishable, sellable book.
Giving King credit where credit is due..... I may not like his style but I am in awe of how that mind of his can kick out as many stories and the length of them. And while some are formulaic.... he can and has been able to write very diverse things..... he is a master.... if he could just be less wordy....
of course look who's talking
