stephen king's "cameo" **SPOILERS**

[dsurrett]

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I didn't have any problems with King putting himself in the series.
Nothing to break ka-tet over though.

Long days and pleasant nights.

i've read the series in it's entirety before. it's just this re-read that has gotten my feathers ruffled...why exactly, i can't say, but felt the need to express it.

Hi,

Indeed.

I thought that he did it with consummate skill myself.

when i first heard about King writing himself into his own magnum opus i was definitely turned off and thought it was blatantly egomaniacal.

But, by the time i finished SOS i loved it and thought it was a very clever addition to the plot and overall understanding of the far reach of the Tower.

King's cameo has a way of tying the world we all know together with all of these others worlds/dimensions/wheres/whens. King's presence in SOS accentuated even more so the point that all things serve the Beam... including everything we know to be true and everything we think to be fiction

... just my humble philosophy of the tower, may it do ya
