Have you read Different Seasons before? If not, you're in for a pleasant surprise - you'll LOVE it!

No, never... can you believe that?! I've seen the movie versions of Apt Pupil and The Shawshank Redemption, but the way SK writes, I enjoy the novel/story version of his works way better than the movie. The way SK delves into the minds of his characters, sets the mood and atmosphere, etc.... just cant be duplicated in a movie.

As far as pure storytelling goes, you can't get much better than Different Seasons. Let us know what you think of it!

I kind of agree with this. I want to keep an open mind as so many love the Dark Tower series and hope that if and when I get to the rest, I will gain the appreciation that others have.
