Ooh, yummy. (I wish I'd had you sneaking me treats while I was on vacation eating lots of boring salads and bland vegetables!)
Hmmm ... I agree with you about King. I've read most of his work at some point or other, and I've found that the quality varies immensely. I remember liking The Dead Zone and Carrie, and wishing I hadn't wasted my time with, well, quite a few others. He's never been my favorite, but you're very right that he has a Voice. The more I've read, the more I've come to respect him as a writer, although much of what he writes is just not to my taste. (The Dark Tower series seems to have struck a chord in me, though; I adore it more than all his other work combined.)
