I learned the Stephen King lesson with the TommyknockersI realised I could read the first, say, 10 chapters then skip to the last 10 chapters and absolutely nothing of import had happened in the intervening three-quarters of the book.

For my GCSE's I wrote about how brilliant King was.I wrote about 'It' and 'Pet Cemetery'.
I reread both at Uni. They aren't actually very good.
