You would think so, but this particular book seemed to avoid a lot of the normal Stephen King nonsense. It was much more subtle (for the most part).

Thought both James Franco and Chris Cooper were pretty solid, but they didn't have the feel of the characters from the book. Jake Epping/Amberson was written in the show as a bit more of an a-hole than the book, and Al Templeton was less Yoda-ish and far more "angry old man" in the series.

Much better start for this show than Under the Dome, though. What a pile of crap that was.
