Finally started it

[Bugsy]

After losing The Mist, I decided to just go ahead and start this edition to the amazing series/piece of art that is Roland of Gilead's quest for the Dark Tower.

Not too far into it. Read the prologue and a bit into the first chapter, but it's reminded me of King's amazing talent at writing in a way so that the reader can perfectly visualize what's going on.

I agree - King has a way of drawing you into the story as if you were actually there traveling with Roland. He has been the only author that has captivated me in this way!

Strange circumstances on how I decided to start reading it. I had already started Skeleton Crew while I was in Spain (I went with my school's Spanish club), but on the last day I apparently forgot it in the hotel room (I'm still bummed). However, I didn't notice it right away. The day after I returned home, I went to Barnes & Noble, got Wizard & Glass, and when I got home, I emptied my bag and realized Skeleton Crew wasn't in there. It's like I was destined to start the next book in this amazing series as soon as possible. I guess Roland and the gang aren't the only ones mysteriously drawn to the Tower.

Maybe King put a spell on the series. (and cue Twilight Zone theme)

This is by far my favorite DT book of the series....It seemed slow at first, but once the story about the horses came to a head, it got really interesting. Although, I'm still confused about the thinny. What is that thing?? I haven't finished the series yet, so I'm hoping there is a resolution to that...

Just finished this one...on to Wolves! Loved the book. In particular, King did a nice job of showing jealousy with Cuthbert. The whole Oz thing was a bit strange for me, though.

This is still my favorite book in the series. I really felt like I'd gone to several different countries by the time I came to the end of it... really strange ones. I am always seeking that feeling.

I couldn't stop turning those pages, it became my full-time job for a couple of days!

PS. Yes, I am glad the series was finished before I started reading it

You and me both Malarabid. I don't think I could have waited to start the next book after reading the last. I would probably have been one of the people writing King and begging him to finish or tell me what happens. I have rarely read such an enthralling series as this one, but the ones I hold in high regard are some of my favorites. It seems as time goes on, and the books keep coming, the author changes with the characters and that is where the unexpected twists and turns come out.

I'm finally in the last trimester of a book impregnated with many surprises. (DT7). Can't wait to finally get to the end. Disappointed I may or may not be, but it was an adventure the entire way.

What if Patrick Danville drew a door that opened on 'The Drop' in Mejis about a thousand years ago?

Would Roland then wake up from a dream with the smell of alkalai in his nostrils and find himself in a position to do something about his curse? Maybe he'd have a fleeting memory of a dream about a long chase in the desert on the path of a dark man? Perhaps following the dark man across the desert was the prime mistake? The arrogance of a stalker fixed on his prey? Pere Callahan made the trip from the 'Way Satation' to Calla Bryn Sturgis by using (being shoved through) the door. Both saw the well-pump. Why didn't Roland see the door? Why did Roland only like human jawbones for the first two books?
