I have had an odd history with him. I have yet to finish one of his books. I am a fan of post-apocalyptic (writing one right now myself ) but I could not get through The Stand. I am reading Carrie right now, but it's more out of morbid curiosity than anything. I just can't step away.
The Green Mile was okay, but I saw the movie first so it probably ruined the series for me. I'll try The Shining, just for you, Hoopy.
In any case, he is commercially successful. And I can't deny that he's doing something right for his dedicated fanbase.
If you like post-apocalyptic (and who doesn't?) and can't get through The Stand (what a shame! Have you seen the tv mini-series?) then checkout Cell which is on a much smaller scale, but equally as riveting.
