Did anyone read the Dark Tower series?

Question

What do you think of the ending?

and

What is your favorite Steven King work?

Answer 1

I loved the ending of the Dark Tower series and I thought it was amazingly appropriate. The way Stephen King led you into it and its presentation....there was no other good way for it to have ended. I was in shock at his brilliance. I think, of everything he's written, I'll always be caught between The Gunslinger and 'Salem's Lot.

Answer 2

Wow...I'd completely forgotten about that...I waited years for the "new" book...(which never came!)...how many did he write in total? Anyhow it seemed that 5 or 7 years or more went by and he never wrote that next book...so I completely lost track of it...can't even remember what it was about but I did enjoy it a lot. Some guy in a desert is all I can remember now...LOL

Oh and my favourite work was when he wrote a series of short stories as Richard Bachman..."The Mist" was one that stuck with me...they were very wierd stories and I'm not sure it would be what I would read these days...but for horror stories he's the man. I like Dean Koontz too. Been a while since I read anything however!

Answer 3

The dark tower is my favorite King work. I think that after everything the series went through, there could be no better ending that the last sentence in the series. =) I loved it.

Answer 4

I read the series and I want to read it again but as you know it will take some time.
At first I didn't like the ending, but then I saw the "moral" of it. It seemed like Mr. King was saying to us, "Keep going until you get it right." Which is pretty much what he had to do throughout his life, which was also incorporated into the story so many times.

Answer 5

hi Pagan. (Love your call, btw). I, too, became slightly hectic approximately examining this sequence because of the fact it became reported to be so diverse from his different works as nicely because it being a form of western. it is not in all likelihood a western as I envisage them. merely as nicely, as I hate westerns. Like maximum of his different thoughts, it is rather imaginitive, has believble characters, and you ask your self each and every each and every now and then how he manages to think of up a number of those suggestions! Very clever guy, rather clever sequence. supply them a try. I loved the 2nd e book interior the sequence, i.e. "The Drawing of the three" the main suitable.

Answer 6

The series, and the ending, in my humble opinion, were typical King fare, outstanding! Favorites include "stand by me" and "silver bullet".
