I think he's hit or miss. I enjoyed The Shining and the Bachman Books collection, but he's a little long-winded for my tastes. I abandoned The Stand after about 200 pages because I just could NOT get into it.
But I also wanted to mention his non-fiction book On Writing, which I thought was very good. He is very funny and there are lots of funny little anecdotes throughout the book, but it also has some of the most concise advice on writing I've come across.
