A telekenetic girl blowing up her school, a showdown with a Lovecraftian monster, a father chasing his family through a haunted hotel, and a two-car destruction derby aren't climactic enough for you?

No it just bothered me for some reason. When the mother was killed. And Carrie killed herself. And that awkward scene with the "friend".

I mostly gave up on Stephen King about 15 years ago. I think the completely unnecessary pre-pubescent gang bang near the end of IT was the final straw for me. I didn't think much of the book as a whole. Another book of his that bored me was Pet Cemetary, predictable and slow. I've never gone past the first three chapters of The Talisman.

Now his short stories on the other hand explore some great ideas without outstaying their welcome. I really like Skeleton Crew for example.
