I am WORRIED!

Born to Sin,

Isn't it wonderful! I felt the way. I LOVED the characters so much and I was SO SCARED. It takes a really terrific writer to make you feel so CONNECTED to his characters. Wizard and Glass is my absolute favorite. The world he created seemed so real I felt I could reach out and touch the wood grain in hitching posts and slap my hand down on the bar.

Keep reading, Born to Sin. It's the ability to make us feel those strong emotions, good and bad, that makes SK such a special writer.

Teddy,

I had the same problem with The Gunslinger and I too was mesmerized by the first chapter of the Drawing of the Three. It's an amazing book and very different from the first book. (which I appreciate a lot more after going back and reading parts of it again.)

Enjoy!

Mary

Thanks for that Mary.

Ive just started it - and am finding it completely different! Hoping this lures me into reading the whole set as Ive read everything else!

Good answer!

I'm usually upset if a character I like dies (and Stephen has done this to me a lot) but I always want to know how the story ends.

A couple of weeks ago I finished "the Gunslinger" and found it a bit hard going - however at the back of the book there was the first chapter of the next book ..................where

That one chapter has "grabbed" me and Im buying the book tomorrow - so hopefully it will thrust me headlong into the series again..........and reading your post has made me all the more enthiastic about it!!!

Thanks again!

The second book was my favorite. Long live the Lobstrosities!

I just finished the fifth book yesterday, and I feel the same. I think I know these characters better than any I've ever had the pleasure of reading about-from any author. As such, I've actually been prolonging my reading of the series: I read the first in July, the second in August, the third in October, the fourth in November an the fifth in April. But now I feel the urge to break my habit of waiting. I'm dying to know how the events at the end of Wolves is resolved.

The good thing, once I finally finish the series, it would have been so long since I started, that I can begin again, reading them all through and I would have distanced myself enough that I can glean further enjoyment from them.

Lol. I would say that if you are worried about people you love dying, you better stop reading right where you are at and forsake ever reading King again. If you haven't noticed, somebody always dies. Fairy Tale endings do not exist in Stephen's world, but you already know that. Keep reading friend. DT is a fun ride from start to finish.

The man in black fled across he desert, and the gunslinger followed.....

Blaine is a pain.
