Reply to comment by Chad_Abraxas in Stephen King and unnatural dialougs? by [deleted]

This take is really reductive. King is prolific, but he doesn't always try and write literary masterpieces.

You absolutely cannot read The Body, Hearts in Atlantis, or the Green Mile and not consider him a modern literary great.

Sure, stuff like UR and other schlocky works aren't masterpieces. He didn't write them to be.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was "reductive" to have a personal opinion.

Better cancel me now. RIP.
