I've found much better wastelander epics since then.
Then again, I've never been that much of a King fan and am not entirely too familiar with all of his work. So I missed all the subtleties and shoutouts to his other works. For a King fan, I hear it's amazing.

I did four better than you - I read them all, although I only really enjoyed the first 4.
I think realizing he was mortal after being hit by a van made him hurry to finish, and the books really suffered.
Bradbury may be better when he writes fast, but King is definitely better when he writes slow.
Or was. Haven't read anything of his since, although I had read pretty much everything of his before that. *That's* how much the ending of that series turned me off. From one of my favorite writers to complete non-interest.
