Another vote for read it.
‘The Gunslinger’ was ok. ‘The Drawing of Three’ rocked. It is my favorite out of the series.
Holy CRAP BATMAN!!!
I went to Kings site (www.stephenking.com) to get the names of the books and found this:
“If you’ve ever wanted to be a character in a Stephen King novel, here’s your chance! From September 1-25, 2005, Auction Cause will be conducting an auction through eBay Giving Works in which 17 authors are auctioning the opportunity to be a character in an upcoming novel…” (snipped)
“…One (and only one) character name in a novel called CELL, which is now in work and which will appear in either 2006 or 2007.”
I thought he retired. I was bummed because he is my favorite writer and he announced his retirement awhile ago.
Woo HOO an new King book. Well, two actually. He is also putting out a new crime novel in October.
I knew I shouldn’t have believed the retirement stuff…
Anyway, on with the post.
I liked ‘The Waste Lands’, overall it was pretty good.
I thought ‘Wizard & Glass’ was not quite as good as the others but not bad.
Wolves of The Calla, eh, it was ok.
Song of Susannah, better than Calla but not as good as Drawing.
The Dark Tower. Loved it. When I picked up this book I was pretty convenced that it would suck. Why? King is one of my favorite writers but he has a habit of writing really crappy endings (Yes, IT, I’m talking about you) I read the book expecting it to suck and it didn’t. The ending wasn’t what I expected and I thought it was pretty good. I’m not sure of how else it could have ended actually.
If you like King I would recommend the whole series.
