Why has he been so successful?

I haven't read a single word from him, but I've watched two movies. The plot was alright.

His plots are entertaining and easily translatable to film.

>What is it about King’s writing that appeals to so many people? Clearly, King’s readers — many of whom seem to get hooked on him when they are adolescents — don’t care that the sentences he writes or the scenes he constructs are dull. There must be something in the narrative arc, or in the nature of King’s characters, that these readers can’t resist. My sense is that King appeals to the aggrieved adolescent, or the aggrieved nerdy adolescent, or the aggrieved nerdy adult, who believes that people can be divided into bad and good (the latter would, of course, include the aggrieved adolescent or adult), a reader who would rather not consider the proposition that we are all, each of us, nice good people awash in problems and entirely capable of evil. King coddles his readers, all nice, good, ordinary, likeable people (just like the heroes of his books), though this doesn’t completely explain why these readers are so tolerant of the bloat in these novels, why they will let King go on for a couple hundred pages about some matter that has no vital connection to the subject of the book.

No but it's the one it uses publicly.

Because he writes good books.

He writes a lot of hooks into his books to keep you reading, this is the basic formula to success for pulp writers like him and Dan Brown. I think he is just writing from one cliffhanger to the next each chapter, that’s why his endings are usually trash, he never needed to learn how to write a good ending.

I can't stand Dan Brown's shit, although I've read several of them in the can. They're page-turners, with each chapter really only lasting 4, 5, or 6 pages before DUN-DUN-DUN see what happens next!
