Re: plain madness
Well, I can't really speak for King's body of work as a whole. I read The Stand and enjoyed it very much, although I have never read anything else he wrote. I read The Stand not because I like Stephen King, but because I enjoy dark, apocylyptic stories.
The Stand miniseries was not very good, although it had some moments. I just don't think the book could be translated to the screen. I also saw the Langoliers, and that was pretty close to aweful. Four hours long, and just hideous. It might have made a halfway decent 30 minute Twilight Zone episode. You might have even got a 2 hour movie out of it if you stretched it. I have no idea why they tried to drag it out into a miniseries. No suspense in that one at all. And the special effects were even bad by TV standards.
