Stephen King is not a good writer by any definition.

Seriously, I haven’t read a book by him in years. I remember him as being an entertaining stylist but not a great plotter.
What are your misgivings with him?
To: EveningStar
His bad prose, one dimensional characters and lack of any original ideas whatsoever.

I’m having problems with my memory. Didn’t he have a problem with foreshadowing?
