As far as popular fiction goes, what do you think of Stephen

thinking about reading it. Tried to read a couple King books, never got very far. Then I read that there's like, kid sex in it? Which kind of skeeved me out. Been thinking about reading it lately. The new movie that's coming out kind of reminded me.

You read it op? Do you think it's good?

I think he writes good characters, but his books are famously hit or miss.

IT is the only book of his I enjoy.

I read him alot when I was young because my mother wanted me to start reading adult books and these were accessible. I think they vary massively in quality, with stuff like Misery, The Shining, IT, Different Seasons, and Needful Things up top, and most of the rest, especially after he stopped doing drugs, at the bottom. His prose is terrible

"x", he said
"yz?"
"xwg"
He looked uncomfortable, glancing up the stairs.
"xyz...x"

but the ideas he came up with are the results of a good mind + narcotics, and should be respected.

I read this when I was 16 and I liked it a lot.

The Richard Bachman novels is the best stuff he's ever done.
