I read ... three books, I think, before I quit. I just didn't care about the characters and there were long stretches where I felt nothing but boredom. I'm just not a fan of King's novels, which feel like they're over-inflated with hot air. I like his short stories a lot more.

So much this.

Alot of it is just unnessary detail. Like pages worth of it sometimes, when what you actually want is the story telling to get on with it, you want action.

Steven King takes it to the extreme sometimes, and it actually ends up makeing his books less fun to read.

Which ones have you two read?  I like 70's, 80's, and early to mid 90's King. Mid 90's and on I find him a little blah ... It and The Talisman are two of my all time favorite books.
