I always loved Stephen King for his magical characters and truly believed he must be a very nice man to have developed characters who we're so likeable/ lovable (Wireman). I don't know what happened, but Stephen now comes across as an angry, snarling and a bitter old man who can't seem to get out of the way of his political convictions that most of the characters in history are idiots because they don't align with his political beliefs it makes me so sad that this has happened and I don't believe that I will ever read a Stephen King book again
