Dark Tower Series

<< < (4/4)

singeivoire:
I've been trying to get my hands on these books for months now - our library only has #'s 3,4, and 6 so I have been thwarted thus far.  I read King's "Hearts and Atlantis" and was intrigued by the first novella in that book, which seems to be tangential to the whole Dark Tower series.

However, if it all ends badly, I may not want to make the effort to track them down/slog through the entire series.

dozyrozy:
I've read them all and it seems, like quite a few people I began to lose interest in the second half. My favourite was the Drawing of the Three (the second book) but I think that might be because I started with that one. Funny, I seem to do that a lot with series, not read the first one until quite late! I can't really remember what happens in the later ones, it's been a while since I read them, so I might have to go back and re-read, but my memory of them being a bit sluggish and pointless is putting me off. I remember being really reluctant to read it whenever I picked it up, but at the same time I wanted to find out what happened at the end.

warofthebees:
I personally liked the first one best.  The gunslinger was a bad ass, Mad Max-style wandering sone of a bitch who had no problems dropping whatever stood in his way to the tower.  Still bits of that in Part II and III, but once he starts being the father figure, it kind of loses me.  I liked the other books (even the ending of 7...I'd say something about it, but I'd hate to spoil it for people still reading), though it annoyed me how every book after The Wizard and Glass had to tie into each other.  Hopefully the series gets at least one extra book (hell, a pamphlet would make me happy), and no, I don't count the comic book series:  I don't care where Roland was, I care about where he's going.
