After watching a few of his adapted movies, I decided to read his actual books. I picked up Pet Semetary two days ago and it's not bad so far. Anyone else familiar with his work?

From the little I read (two books, I think), I don't like him.

Why not? do you have a reason or was it just because it was horror-related?

I've read "The Tommy Knockers", "Thinner", "Pet Cemetary", and maybe 3 or 4 more that I can't seem to recall by title. I liked them all, but sometimes the stories are kind of lame. They're just easy to read, like pop corn flicks are easy to watch on boring days. You don't read them for enrichment so much. Although "Pet Cemetary" was pretty good in terms of plot.
