New thing is made in writting books, (novels, short stories... stories...)... It's to be build a character which you will love you will like him.... and one moment he dies... isn't it awesome?

Sometimes the films are based on real events.

Our self image is based on people comments, so most images are false. You aren't this and this, they made you, because they wanted!

As far as now I can tell that most Stephen King fans don't know him well. They have read or viewed few works and their judge is based on them... that's now well knowing a writer!
