What makes you think any of them actually read the book? The sudden discovery and subsequent outrage (especially at Jezebel) makes me wonder if any of them have read any King at all.

It could also be related to the fact that this sexual experience is filtered through the gaze of a middle aged dude, which is not what many people would consider ideal for depictions of pre-adolescent sexuality.

It is over 30 years old now. I mean... 
It sure is getting a lot of press due to the movie. Did you all just read the book for the first time?

Let’s face it, Stephen King’s not a great writer, period. And yeah, his sex scenes are pretty bad in general. He’s a great story teller and has one hell of an imagination, but his style is lacking, to say the least.
