Read the below conversation. W: Wow, are you still up? It's late. M: It is? I didn't realize. Where have you been, Mary? W: I was at Kayla's birthday party tonight. She had it in a big restaurant in the East End. I didn't get there until 10:00, though. I first had to say goodbye to my friend Lisa who's moving to Seattle next week. We met up at 8:00 at a bar and talked for a long time. I was already tired by the time I got to the party, so I left at 11:30. M: Well, I'm tired myself. I've been reading Skeleton Crew by Stephen King. It's pretty scary, but it's hard to put down. W: Oh, that's his collection of short stories, right? I read that when I was 14! It really gave me nightmares. M: I'm not surprised. I just read the story about the toy monkey that kills people. It really disturbed me. Now I can't sleep. What would the listener say?

Answer: W: A lot of people used to say Stephen King was a bad writer, but I've always enjoyed his books - even if they made me really afraid. But now, even the book reviewers have come to respect him.
