Finished book 7 last week. I loved it. The ending fits, but it depressed me.
I want to read them all again, but I think I'll just listen to them on CD for the second time around. I won an eBay auction yesterday for all 7 books on CD. |

I own them all but have only read the Gunslinger. I found the it interesting but kinda vague and artsy farty (minimalist pseudo poetic fiction?). I really want to like them, but the jury is still out ...

I've read all but the latest (I think).
I have to say, I loved this series and I don't usually like his writing... I think he's too dark. But this held my interests...

I love The Dark Tower series but none of his books is as good as The Stand to me. That book really sucks you in. Is 7 the last in the series btw? I am still reading The Wolves Of Calla...

What I can say is that some will be disappointed with the ending, but if you're a fan you'll realize that the ending is totally fitting. Stephen King says he isn't telling the story, the story is telling itself through him and he's just the messenger. After reading all 7 Dark Tower books I almost believe it. |

He has a tendancy to drag out a lot of meaningless details in a lot of his stories that has no impact on the story itself. But that's just me. |

All the meaningless details are how he draws you into the story. As annoying as it can be sometimes, there's a reason for it.
Anyway, the first book in the Dark Tower series is written really differant, much like Eye Of The Dragon. He writes it like a fairy tale. But the books after that are written in his usual style.
