In a truly stunning creative feat, they're equally horrible for entirely different reasons.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Regarding King: I liked Dr. Sleep. Cujo isn't great. Tommyknockers is obviously the product of an alcohol-fueled binge (he has admitted this). But King's worst book is undeniably "Cell". It's just flat-out bad.
Regarding Gaiman: I liked Sandman (esp "Season of Mists"), and I like his comic work in general. "Black Orchid" and his work on "Miracleman" are amazing. Also, "Books of Magic" was great. But I'm not his biggest fan. He has an annoying way of building up a conflict, then resolving it in a very anticlimactic way. I hated American Gods. Never watched the tv show, because the book turned me off so much.
Regarding Tad Williams: Otherland is awesome, but if you haven't read Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn (and the new sequel series) you should! I'm talking to you, Vraith!

Very much enjoyed Memory, Sorrow and Thorn but have one major gripe; he tied up every thread at the end ......
......... Why would he do that?
Spoiler
apart from the little cat, which he left wandering under the tower which was reduced to rubble - and after it led what's his name out of the catacombs!
The truth is a Lion and does not need protection. Once free it will look after itself.

'Of course - you know you have.'
'Then let it end.'
