Is the KJV really as amazing (stylistically speaking) as people

Yes to all of the above.

It's not as if every single verse was stressed over as much as every single line of Shakespeare. But overall, you'll find more lines of great/influential prose in the KJV than almost anywhere else.

That said, it's really a matter of what you consider to be good. 17th century writing is generally overrated because it was when contemporary English was being solidified, so writers could be a little bit more creative since the standards weren't set yet.

>17th century writing is generally overrated
It's the apex of English writing though, how can it be overrated?
Shakespeare, Milton, Marlowe, Spenser, Burton, Browne, Ben Johnson, Dryden, KJV translation, Chapman's homer translations, the metaphysical poets
Just to name the absolute cream of the crop.
