I've always thought that King is a much better storyteller than he is a writer (never have I thought to myself while reading him, "Wow, what a gorgeous sentence!"), but I have always been SO impressed with the way he writes people. I don't mean the way he writes characters, but the way he "gets" people. He understands what goes on inside people's heads, and his books are always populated with people who feel "real." I often feel that his secondary characters are written much more impressively than his main characters, because they seem so authentic.
