The Dead Zone is one of my favorite books by Stephen King. But his writing isn't for everyone. I'd suggest maybe setting that book aside if you just can't get into it and trying a different one. I should add that not every book by King is for everyone who generally likes his writing. Some people think The Stand is his best book, but I really couldn't get into it and had to abandon it. And not all of his books are particularly well-written. I liked It overall, though the novel would have been much better, in my opinion, had the middle section undergone some serious editing.
