Hadn't read the King quote before now, but I can see why he has so many people all aflutter. Funny thing is, I think one of the writers he disparages is actually very, very good at spinning a story, while another is, honestly, not that great. Who, really, is anyone to declare that someone is or isn't a good writer? I've read some of King's books. Some of them I've liked, some of them I haven't. But plenty of others have loved the ones I didn't, so I can't declare that they're bad books - simply that they're not to my taste. To do otherwise would, I believe, be very arrogant. Wow.
