Yes, but IQfy will say no, but since none of them write, you can ignore their opinions.
Yes. He just chose to write quickly (thus worse than his potential and with poor/no planning) for money instead of slowly for artistic craftsmanship.
If he had sat down and taken a good five years on it and really tried, I do believe he could have put out a solid work of literary fiction.
He just chose not to. Worked for him.
If you were to rank every book ever written, it would go something like this:
>The best of literature
>The second best of literature
...
>The best of pulp
>The best of King
>The worst of literature
...
>The worst of pulp
...

>The worst of King

Heavily depends on what you consider to be a good writer. He's no artist, but most of his novels are passable to decent. Some of his earlier stuff is really not bad at all. I think he just started caring less over the years because he knew that anything he puts out will sell
By his own admission, yes but only when he’s high on cocaine.

>i wrote moar books than i've read
Yeah, he's pretty good. Never read an author that can write "skeevy" as good as he can, and with such subtlety. Even his heroes make me uneasy, and I probably couldn't even tell you why.
No, he's a cuck who's full of himself and has never written anything original in his life
When I was a kid, I got another boy to wrap me in his bedsheets and then fart in my face. It aroused me. I've never told anyone this.
Well, I guess that's what I was looking for. Thanks.
He's literary shonen.
No. No justification or explanation is required for self evident facts.
I think he accidentally tapped into something good with The Dark Tower and The Stand at points, but overall he's the definition of quantity over quality. That he's an insufferable boomer cokehead liberal who lives in a bubble doesn't inherently make him a shitty writer, but I don't think it helps. I can only think of a few of his characters that feel like actual human beings.
>I can only think of a few of his characters that feel like actual human beings.
Why don't the rest of them?
Yes
good is a nonsense term unless it has specific parameters
Do you think the passage in the OP is well written?
