So you weren't impressed with IT having a book long love interest between Ben & bev? :)

There are a few things about kings style that annoy me, such as:
Spoilers mid book.
Dreamless sleeps, everyone seems to have them.
So many authors as main or supporting characters.
His descriptions of how wonderful a cigarette can be.
Theres been a few books where he just flops the endings,the whole book will be fantastic,you cant put it down then you get thus lame ending and your like really? I also hate writers that use what i call page fillers just to add pages to there book,when they start blabbing about absolutely nothing that has nothing to do with the story for chapters at a time i find that really annoying.

I agree. I also hate it when they say "As you know". If they already know why do the character have to point it out?
