Rating: Summary: Grows like a rose.... Review: Few experiences impel me to want to sound off to the world, but this book is an exception!As each book of the series is published, the imagination and plot involved broadens to almost uncontrollable proportions. The variety of characters and backgrounds grows like a rose on a construction site.
Rating: Summary: Amazing piece of work Review: I can easily say that this is the best Stephen King series I have yet come across, and I am usually not one for science fiction. This was intrigueing though because of the touches of fantasy and the on-going suspenceful events. The characters are so complex yet simple, quite hard to explain, yet in this set of books I found it so much easier to make a connection to and with all the characters, even the little creature Oy. I have also read the title Wizard and Glass in this series and I reccomend that also. I look forward to seeing what Stephen King holds in store for our band of travellers in the future!
Rating: Summary: The Demise of Literature Review: If anyone wants stronger proof of the demise of literature I point to the five stars that 72 people gave to a Stephen King book. I weep for the future of literature.
Rating: Summary: A great surreal fantasy Review: I usually read sci-fi/fantasy, but Stephen King's Dark Tower series is by far the greatest set of books I've ever read. The characters are realistic, the plot pulls you in, and of course it is extremely well written. I can easily compare it to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Herbert's Dune, and Asimov's Foundation series. If you're a Stephen King fan, get it; if you like sci-fi/fanasy, get it. Well worth your money.
Rating: Summary: A must read for anyone! Review: King's most captivating and best-thought out work. The details are so intricate, yet are not too difficult to grasp. The story leaves you looking forward to his next volume, and I am sure that many King fans will agree with me when I say I can hardly wait for the next installment!
Rating: Summary: Wanna see the connections in his other books? Review: For those of you who have read this series, as well as all of King's other books, you know that there are links in some of his other books back to the Dark Tower series. For those of you who don't know, here it is. Go buy Insomnia, and Hearts In Atlantis. I think you'll find the connections to the Dark Tower series rather interesting. They are somewhat more subtle in Insomnia, but are quite obvious in Hearts In Atlantis. Hearts In Atlantis is a must read for those who are hooked on The Dark Tower. Personally, I think it reveals where King is going with the Tower and the characters linked to it by revealing some of the things going on in Roland's world. Oh, and another one to check out is a book called Legends Volume I. It includes a short story about Roland, placed sometime before the first book in the series. A definite must read.
Rating: Summary: nothing but the best Review: This series has to be some of the best writing ever done. You'll get wrapped up in the storyline and not be able to put it down. My only problem is that King only comes out with a new book in the series once in a very long while.
Rating: Summary: An addiction Review: The Dark Tower series are an addiction to me that is even worse than any drug. King brings us in the mind of Roland and his fellow travellers. In the beginning when we met Roland, he seems to be an cold and weird person. But in the last book of the serie(wizard glass) King brings us back to the past of Roland, in which we can understand his previous thinking and actions. We understand his quest and are very anxious for the next part of the Dark Tower.
Rating: Summary: Even a communist would love it Review: this book is great. I'm not a big King fan, I actually prefer Dean Koontz, but this book pulls you in and never lets you go. After finishing the first one, all I can think about is reading the second one.
Rating: Summary: The Dark Tower....The series that bring his books together. Review: Upon reading this book, i have found that he places other book's settings inside each book. The place in Mid-World for Randall Flagg is the most convincing of this, along with the same disease from The Stand destroying all of mid world.
