Community Thoughts:  Posted By: Diego Arvet - May 8th, 2012 6:55:54 pm EDT I'll be damned! I will have until tomorrow to read the seventh book of the serie, also I will have to read little sisters of eluria and will have to buy on amazon the new book and will have to wait a lot, I'm from Mexico that's why.Great serie by the way. Posted By: Dom - May 1st, 2012 7:57:16 pm EDT I just finished the final book it has taken me over a year to read the whole series. But now that wind came out I have to do it all over again. And you know what I can't wait. Thanks mr king. Posted By: Sparky The Wonder Something-or-other - April 12th, 2012 5:23:19 pm EDT i read this when it came out, and am doing so again this week, Ah, the ending...people can whine about it all they like, but the genius of it is that it's still open-ended. given the mid-quel coming later this month, who knows...sk may do another book that revisits the tower itself. i think the key setup was in book 3, when blaine makes the comment about way-gog music on the upper level of the tower. the disconnect is the expectation that there must be more going on and more levels and more floorspace than Roland gets to experience in book 7. because he doesn't have the horn? because he's rushing through the thing like a teenager trying to lose his virginity at the drive-in? perhaps. again, sk put himself in a perfect position...it's finished. or it can be picked up again. how can you argue with that? speaking as a former governor of a french-canadian republic on the verge of economic collapse (i'm not, but i like to), I'd say more on the great old ones and they're gadgets, and according to an early review of the new book, there's some of that and something for everyone. i say rock on steve...we're with ya buddy. Posted By: Anonymous - April 10th, 2012 2:00:17 pm EDT i love stephen king Posted By: Anonymous - February 19th, 2012 3:18:06 am EST I just finished reading the entire series, beginning to end, some volumes for the second time because after so many years all I could remember was there was a man something about a tower and somewhere along the way something about a train. I was warned by a few I would want to throw the book against the wall when I got to the end, a thought that kept running through my head as I went past the "and they lived" potential ending the entire time wondering what could possibly happen to Roland that could make me angry or take anything away from this story I had been reading EVERY SINGLE free moment of every day for the last month or so. I liked the end. Where else was there for him to go? Death? New York? And there's the horn...hope. These books took me through a crazy mixture of emotions from beginning to end, there were moments I loved, moments I hated, moments I wished it would never end, many when I thought it never would,and moments that broke my heart. I loved the characters, felt for them, felt like I knew them even Oy tugged at my heart strings. I read the ending despite the warnings because after all that time with them I had to know. Even if I hadn't liked the ending I loved the story. I loved the way it was told, I loved the way I got to watch Roland change and grow and become so much more than he was in the beginning and it broke my heart to to see what awaited him on the other side of the door. But there was the horn. In my opinion King's best. More Thoughts » |
