Thats the best part of King's books, he pulls you into the story and makes you live it, and honestly I don't like his writing style.

I know just what you mean. I think it's his eerie gift for verisimilitude. He can make me believe (for that instant) the most absurd thing that if you summarized it in your own words would seem like nonsense. He's the one writer who could make me believe the plot line of
The Langoliers as a freaking adult 
.
I'm just glad he became a horror writer and not a demagogue, otherwise I'd be out there following him around saying "As you wish, Mr. King. And would you like gold shavings with that?"
