The Iffiness of Stephen King
I like Stephen King books for the most part, he's got some really cool ideas. If you look at how many books are under his name, it might signal something (time issue) - he doesn't fully write all of his own books, rather he has writers that use his concepts and he simply approves them. Lots of famous authors, like Dean Koontz, also use this tactic. Of course, there are books that are solely written by them, just not all.
The result of this process is usually that, because of different writers, some of his books and stories aren't as well executed as they could have been. I like a lot of his ideas, just not the execution of some of them.
