He's not going to win any high class literary awards, but he knows how to get the maximum out of his style. He can weave a good tale and take you way out of your comfort zone, and he does so without writing above the average reader. He appeals to the masses, maybe that's why critics pan him, success.

Some of his work is transparent (Cell, Tommyknockers, Langoliers), by that I mean I knew where the story was going way too early on. Perhaps due to having read so much of his stuff.

Others, just throw you for a loop. Where and how does this sicko come up with these things.

Raft - C'mon, we've all wondered what might be in the pond.
Gerald's Game - 200+ pages of a woman handcuffed to a bed in a remote cabin while hubby lies dead on the floor.

This dude is twisted!
