I don't get why people like this

People say this is a good book and series but I can't agree to that. It's just chaotic and doesn't make any sense, the writing seems overly dramatic and "flowery", meaning he describes things so weird, with weird details and weird metaphors. I couldn't even read it to the end and stopped at like 80 or 90%. I have no interest in reading the other novels in the series, it's just not my type of writing I guess. I never liked any Stephen King books until this one and I read a bunch now. It's not getting any better, maybe I should just give up on trying to like his writing.

Review of 'The gunslinger' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

El comienzo es flojo, con un exceso de adjetivos que parecían sacados al azar de un diccionario sólo para aparentar gran conocimiento de vocabulario.

Afortunadamente le tomó mucho tiempo para escribir este libro, por lo que se nota la madurez de King en la forma como va evolucionando su estilo de relato.

Hay varios conceptos interesantes que me gustaría que se hubieran desarrollado mejor, pero bueh..
