Customer Reviews

Its just excellent
I have enjoyed the dark tower books more than I thought I would.
It has been pretty much non-stop all the way through (except for book 6, I found that dull).
The way in which the surrounding lands are described is amazing, you can see how beautiful mid-world is and feel the sun shining down on you as Roland and his Ka-tet struggle to stay alive.
The characters are very well written and because you've been reading about them for 7 books you really care about them (well I did anyway).

So this is the 7th and last book in this brilliant Dark Tower series. Expect to be upset by some of the events, it can hit you hard. Something I didn't expect happened and then almost straight after something else just as bad happened. It's a big book but not once did I find it boring, there is always something happening.

I know that a lot of people cant stand the way it ended, and I can see why, but I actually thought it was an excellent ending. I sure didn't see it coming. I think people want a lovely, warm, alls well ending, well I find those boring beyond belief and I'm happy with the way it ended. A little cruel, yes, but brill.

The only thing I didn't like about this book was the way in which one of the deaths was dealt out, it was so bloody violent it put me in a bad mood for a while. But a good story doesn't always do what the reader wants.

5 star entertainment. I'm so sad its ended now.

Superb no matter your reservations about KING
Mr Kings books have haunted countless generations and many of that "Generation King" have almost been force fed his literature, wehther on celluloid or paper. I for one have bravely resisted this until these books came along (With the exception of Salems lot - a superb Vampire tale)

Intrigued by the fact these books were not his normal genre, i read the first book and thought; Yawnathon. Ever giving writers second chances I re-read the first book and read the second and have been hooked on this series ever since.

King manages to excercise so many twists, turns and loops and draws you further and further in until the rush to the superb ending. This series breaks out of any classification so theres no point in pigeon holing this series, just read and enjoy. Superlative characters whom you feel every twist and turn with, a great hero and some superb action set pieces means you will be gripped by this, no matter your feelings on this author.

Great and highly reccomended. Up there in my eyes with Dune, Hyperion Cantos and Lord of the Rings...buy it.

Amazing
A fitting end to the epic. I will not give any details away, except I usually find King lets his books down with the ending, however in this instance the ending is superlative. I finished the hardback version, then after a couple of months went back and read the whole thing from start to finish. Seriously, for those of you who are not sure of King, read the Dark Tower series. Yes, the Gunslinger is a little slow, but a necessary evil. I promise you, get to Book 2 and you'll be hooked. I want to rave about it a little more, however, I refuse to provide any spoilers. Read and enjoy!
