Query: Smoothly written but disappointing overall

Whilst the book is well written as expected i think it was disappointing overall and just didn't have the same impact or compelling story line as with many of his other works. First and foremost King is a horror writer -this is how he made his reputation and won most of his fans. This doesn't mean to say that he shouldn't write books like 'bag of bones' which are clearly catered to a more mainstream audience but i think there should be a clearer line between his mainstream and horror e.g. his bachman pseudonym would be better utilised to truly differentiate his works rather than just for novelty value. That said, the book is still an ok read and the characters are well developed but i hope King brings his writing skills back to the horror/fantasy writing that he is rightly more acclaimed for.
