Ok i just finished the novel and i must say i love it however i have one question to ask.

At the end of the novel it says that Thomas and Dennis meet Flagg again when does this happen? does it happen in one of the dark tower novels?

but yeah i loved it it almost seems like one of the classic fairy tale stories.

We never get to find out when those folks met up again, I seriously wish we did.

Perhaps they will be mentioned in the comic arcs somewhere. Many other things have been answered that way. I would suggest reading them if you get the chance.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have to say that this was one of my favorite SK books. It's not as talked about as most of his others, but I absolutely loved it. Then again, I'm big on fairy tales.

This is one of my favorite stories of all time. I don't remember the last part of the book specifically so I can't answer your question, it's been over 10 years since I read this book.

It happens long long ago in a land far far away, or perhaps it happens in the so distant future in a land not so far away. Either way tis up to you to imagine what happens in that fateful meeting, as it's never actually been written into anything I've ever read....

It was referenced to in the Dark Tower Series, I believe it was Wizards and Glass. There were no details it was just mentioned about Dennis and Thomas meeting Flagg. But this is one of my favorite books, Im not real big into fantasy type books and movies but I enjoyed this story, especially Flaggs part.

Hi,

I harbour a hope that as he wrote it for his daughter at thirteen, he might be tempted to return as his grandchildren grow older.

Long days and pleasant nights

I agree with those asking for more. I completely enjoyed this novel and can't wait until my 4-yr old is old enough to read it. I plan to make it her introduction into the world of SK. After that, it's up to her.

When you start reading the Dark Tower series you will understand. Roland is from the line of Eld.

Just bought Eye's of the Dragon about a month ago, but haven't read it yet. My "book guy" said my son would love it!!! (It's SK.....who wouldn't love him.)

My sister and I just bullied one of our friends daughters into reading the Long Walk. She said she just didn't understand how people could "read" and like it. Autumnlyn threatened not to feed her anymore, (she's a GREAT cook and people go to her house on a daily basis just to eat, oh yeah, and for the company!)----We made her promise to finish the story and that was two days ago. She's already half way through the book!!!!!
Ahhh, we got another one~!!!

It was a very good told fairytale/ fantasy story, and it had that "ancient legends" scent to it.

I like the fact some question remains unanswered. Let my imagination work it out on its own

I agree...I would love a number two! I found this book in a used book store and it was pretty beat up. I thought it sounded different and unusual for SK. I read it in less than 48 hours. I was immediately hooked by the first sentence. I was homeschooling my children at that time and quickly integrated it into our English and Literature curriculum. My boys loved it. I have passed that old tattered book around and everyone I give it to thinks it is fab and a true work of art. Is the book simple and easy to read, yes, but that is the beauty of it! Plan on reading it again on a cold winter day, well, maybe a rainy one will do.

I am having trouble finding this book in any of the stores around here. I've actually been looking for it for several years. I guess I will just have to order it online. I'm not really looking forward to that because they charge entirely too much.

I also was wanting another novel telling the tale of Thomas and Dennis on their search for Flagg.
Eye's of the Dragon was a refreshing, easy read after reading a bunch of SK's other adult novels.

This is one novel that I've tried to read, but never was able to get into. I'm not sure why. Hopefully one day I will be able to read it.

Maybe we'll find out what happenned to Thomas and Dennis and Flagg in the recently announced [I]Wind Through the Keyhole[I] book? the title sounds like it could go along with Eyes of the Dragon.

And this book is my absolute favorite, behind IT and The Talisman.

Just finished a re-read. Still love this one. My 11 year old (who always sees me with my nose shoved in an SK book) wants to start reading him. I think I'll let her read this one.

Delta Dog-stupid question, I know, but have you checked the library? That's where I found it, and I live in Podunk, Ohio!!!
