Stephen King's Gunslinger series - worth it or no?

<< < (4/8) > >>

Cartilage Head:
 It is a pretty good series but the ending is very bittersweet.

ackblom12:
The ending being so bittersweet is part of what I loved about the series, and King in general. The endings are more natural I guess. Not everything get resolved, not everything may end up ok, and the hero doesn't always make it out quite so well, if at all.

Agreed!  I didn't have to wait that long, maybe three years, but it was still agonizing.

Agreed.  But there's still a part of me that wants to think Roland is the center of the universe.

And as far as the original question... I love The Dark Tower with such a fierce passion that I believe anyone should read it, especially someone who has read half of King's works already.

Considering he spent about 30 something odd years working from the first to the last, it's most definately worth the read.
