So, in summary, you tried one book he wrote 30 years after he came to prominence and gave up. IT, The Shining, The Stand, Misery, Dolores Claiborne, Pet Sematery, The Green Mile, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption are fantastic. Some of his Bachman books - The Long Walk, The Running Man, Rage - are also great. You're simply objectively wrong. Your aunt sounds like she knows a good book, though.
