While Stephen King ranks among my favourite authors, he is by far the most variable in my reactions to his work. He's never quite made it down 1 (waste of space), but he's got quite a few at 2 (just barely, won't re-read) and several at 3 (okay, but I won't re-read unless I'm hard up or especially in the mood). ... Now I look at my list I see that Misery actually made it to a 3, which is higher than I remembered it (The Shining only made a 2).
