You always get your money's worth with mega-bestselling author Stephen King. The guy knows how to fill up pages, and although it's no 1,000-plus tome like "The Stand," "Never Flinch," his seventh Holly Gibney outing, is 448 pages strong. To be sure, King has more to offer than a solid page-to-cost ratio. He could write the book equivalent of bubble wrap and I would still want to read it, but what is delivered - swathed in shipping material - sometimes fails to meet expectations.
