Oliver Howard
Mixed feelings on this one. While I enjoy some aspects of King's writing, some parts I really dislike. I thoroughly enjoyed his ability to include small insignificant details that contribute to a living, breathing world. What I didn't like was the constant sentence breaks that he kept doing (like this) that made some scenes hard to follow.
Aside from that I thought the plot was, well, fine. It is clear that this was his first major novel because his skills improve significantly with his later books.
Overall it was a pretty easy and enjoyable read, but lacked some substance and refinement.
