That, The Stand, and Duma Key are bad. I feel like I'm forgetting another bad one. But that's about it.

Under the Dome and The Stand are so good up until the end that I forgive them. Never read Duma Key.

Give Duma Key a try, it's legit underrated.

stephen king could spread his cheeks and drag bloody swamp ass across a paper and you'd try to argue the merits of the resulting work

I've fully admitted many of his works are crap.

Joe Hill is honestly probably a better writer than King.

Dark tower is anticlimactic with the crimson king, but the actual ending is amazing.

Agreed.

However, The Stand, Under the Dome, Gerald's Game, Salem's Lot, Duma Key, It, The Tommyknockers, The Talisman, Needful Things and probably others that I'm forgetting all have weak endings (and some are just weak books in general).

I've got to agree.

the Crimson King thing made sense, I guess, but it was terrible, IMO.

but when Roland was ascending the Tower, and what it all led to, I really enjoyed it.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Susannah finding alternate versions of Eddie, Jake, and Oy, but I kind of see it as a kind of "reward" from the Tower for all of their sacrifices, so I see it in a mostly positive light

the only other King books that I've read (outside of the Dark Tower series) are: Black House, The Long Walk, Rage, and The Talisman, and liked all of their endings.
