You think the contrast had to do with the author's use of language as well? I have not read much King, but I remember reading Eyes of the Dragon by him in some ridiculously short period of time. It was like cutting butter with an appropriately heated knife, and I didn't even like it that much. For some reason though, I couldn't get It to hold my interest, though I remember it leaving the same impression language-wise. Just very accessible and quick. Like you don't need an oar when you're reading him.
