Dark Tower Series

(1/4) > >>

Well my sister suggested over the summer that I read the Dark Tower series, by Stephen King, and when I moved back in at school, I started reading it.  I'm currently on the 4th book, and I find it pretty interesting, but not much different from your average fantasy/sci fi/end of the world type series.  Good vs Evil sort of thing.  But still pretty cool.  It's the first ever Stephen King I've ever read.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had read the Dark Tower series, or if you're currently reading it.  And if so, what are your thoughts?

Cartilage Head:
I read and finished it a few years back. It's pretty good, but the ending of the entire series is... iffy.

 Anyway, I'm suprisedyou found it so routine.. I found it very unconventional. Of course, you aren't that far into the series yet.

Alarra:
I think it's a great series personally. My favorite book is actually the fourth one.

haziegirl:
well I think within the overall quest, it's original.  I think the idea of writing a series of books that kind of explains the whole cosmic balance, and what not, is over done.

But I really do like the series so far.  I am only about halfway, so you're right, I don't have much to base my opinion on.  But I'm enjoying it.  The first two books really kept me entertained... intrigued...  I read through those pretty quickly.  The third book was a bit harder to get through, in my opinion.  I even thought about taking a break from the series, which generally translates into not finishing it, for me.

So far the fourth book seems pretty good.  I think now, I just need to find a nice quiet place I can read.  My dorm room isn't really providing me with a good reading environment at this point in time.

Do you mean the ending you're encouraged to stop at or the one you get if you keep reading?
