- <p>SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY

- <p> Writers always complain about bad reviews, but usually the ones
- they complain about are their own. These days STEPHEN KING is
- up in arms about critics who have attacked a book by someone
- else. SCOTT SMITH's much hyped first novel, A Simple Plan, about
- bloody squabbles over found money, has got mixed reviews. King,
- who loves the book, has rushed to its defense in newspaper ads
- and in an appearance on Good Morning America. "I'm tired of
- reviewers who equate popular fiction strictly with formula,"
- says King, "a formula they claim to despise."
