I think he writes entertaining stories - one of my favorites is The Green Mile. Not all are great (and some are very meh), which is to be expected. It’s remarkable how much creativity he has in his head.

I prefer King to Koontz, but to each his own.

I like his short stories and novellas (and some of the Bachman stories) better than the novels, in general, when it comes to his work. And they seem to translate to screen adaptations really well. 1922, Rita Hayworth..., The Green Mile etc., were all good to awesome.

And I also prefer him to Koontz by a long shot.

Edit to add: I really wish they would adapt The Long Walk to screen.
