Opinions on Stephen King
Opinions on Stephen King
This may sound dumb, but I've never read for this man. I've always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I've read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much

I'm already 15% into fairy tale. I really like his style so far. English is my second language and some books are a pain to read because the author feels the need to make it as hard as possible to understand. King uses very simple English and I appreciate that. I've only looked up 2 words so far.
Fairy Tale is a great modern book of his. I am partial to The Revival myself, but I like a slow burn. I would say The Stand, uncut, is a masterpiece and worth the extremely long read. I enjoyed The Talisman, which is in line with Fairy Tale in being a kind of fantasy-horror adventure.
So many people recommended the Talisman and The Stand. I'll check them out.
