Any Stephen King fans out there?

My first Stephen King. I've been told by multiple people this is a really good one but I'm about a third of the way through and I'm still not hooked. Should I be more patient or is Stephen King just not for me?

[i]The Dead Zone[/i] 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 [i]The Stand[/i] 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 [i]It[/i] overall, though the novel would have been much better, in my opinion, had the middle section undergone some serious editing.
