I remember reading an essay by Orson Scott Card years ago in which he said many of the things depicted in movies and books were too intense for him--that he could only watch a movie at home so he could turn it off when it created feelings he couldn't handle. He said the only books of King's he could read were The Stand and The Dead Zone.
I liked The Dead Zone, for its clever and satisfying ending, but could never get through The Stand. Never read Shawshank but the movie was terrific.
