oyster Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I just realized this. I finished 'Duma Key' this morning and boy let me tell you. Mother fucker can't fucking write himself out of a fucking paper bag. What a fucking queer. What a cocksucker. I mean the fucking god damn beginning and early middle of his books are always so good it's like 'why did I think this guy was a bad writer' then all of a sudden some stupid fucking shit just comes out of nowhere "oh it's a ghost ship oh gee I'm being strangled by a zombie oh look there's Wireman with a funny one liner before he kills the zombie" I mean what the fuck guys? Seriously? Seriously? Fuck. I was actually sitting in study hall when that fucking bullshit starts and I was fucking rolling my fucking eyes I mean what the fuck is this shit guys? Guys? Fuck Stephen fucking King. Fuck.

Guest dese manz hatin Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I know man... King is shite. However I thought 'It' was quite good... I was 14 when I read that though. And even then I though the ending was a load of cheesy bullshit (giant space spiderz and turtles m8).

oyster Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Some of his books are pure genius, yeah. He's a great author actually. For the first half of his books at least. What a shitty author. God.

Fuck Stephen fucking King. Fuck. I love King, but I agree about Duma Key. It starts alright, some of it in the middle is quite good. Then it reaches the end and I actually just started skimming pages. Very dull and generic. This said, I think he may have something interesting cooked up for his next. "Under the Dome" is like 1,000 pages and the premise sounds fun. hes been working on it for 20 years.

oyster Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I think King's problem is in what he considers his strong point. If you read his book about writing, he talks about how he never pre-plots his books, he just starts writing and let's the story's work themselves out. Well this is probably why his endings always suck so bad, are always so 'deux ex machina'.

Quite a foolish thing to think youre a genius and able to create a masterpiece by just sitting down for 2 weeks and writing along like Goethe did with Werther.....

oyster Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah actually 1-3 of the Dark Tower series are good sense the whole Dark Tower series is supposed to be one book, it's like reading three books Stephen King's beginnings where his imagination is really a driving power behind the books, before he tries to wrap everything up really cheaply and stupidly.
