Rating: Summary: DEAR GOD! Review: This has got to be one of the most complex stories to which I have ever had the pleasure of being exposed. Mr. King has a mind that I fear for him is twisted and frantic. Always turning and evolving, this book is but a piece of a story that is consuming. If you want to take a literal journey then this is the book for you.
Rating: Summary: Amazing mix of a western/fantasy. The start of a great tale Review: The gunslinger, takes you to a world that is beyond our own but shares some common history. It takes you to the start of Roland's great quest, and makes you wish you could go with him. It also shows you that Roland quest, is the most important thing in his life. After I read this story I never had more anticipation in my life as I waited for the next installment.
Rating: Summary: A fantatick read for people whom are willing. Review: the four books in the dark tour seares will slowly pull you in. you will become a companin of Roland, the most intregueing chaireator that king has yet to create. it is a vertuial gumbo of steven kings books draging you through time space and Dimension. remember it starts slow dont just stop at the first book you wont be disapointed.
Rating: Summary: Worth the wait, but how many more are there going to be? Review: Oh boy, have I ever been waiting a long time for this book! I finished it in about 2 days, and loved every page. The story continues to be riveting, and the character of Roland is one of King's best creations. Good stuff, I highly recommend this book. Now, Mr. King, if you could only write these books more often than one every five years. Talk about an epic saga!
Rating: Summary: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: AWESOME THIS BOOK KEPT ME GLUED TO IT UNTILL I WAS DONE. MAN IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE I SAY,READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Outstanding Review: This series of books are outstanding, absorbing, and surprisingly intellectual. The series is also very dark, much more so than I expected from the description on the back of the book, but King describes the moved on world with such poetic grace that one still wants to visit it. All in all one of the few literary masterpieces we have seen in the last few years, and will probably last for a long time into the future (although I think people 50 years from now will have a bit of trouble understanding the slang King loaded into "The Drawing of the Three"). King continues to surprise me by balancing his mediocre works with literary masterpieces.
Rating: Summary: I was totally asorbed from the first few minutes of story Review: As a new listener of Stephen King, I did not expect to be drawn into the story by the characters. Each character comes to life so completely that you feel as if you know what they are thinking and feeling personally. I had thought of King as a author of horror, but this and the other titles in the Dark Tower series are not scary but rather a saga of a man who is committed to his quest of finding the Dark Tower. Some of the events seem a little like fantsy, but yet there is so much the reader can relate to that it is not a total trip into the unbelivable. I would recommend the entire Dark Tower Series to anyone who wants to be absorbed for hours. A totally wonderful series!!!!
Rating: Summary: Mixed Feelings Review: I've read the whole series, and honestly that is the only way that this book can be appreciated. When spoken of in the context of the series it is a magnificent piece of work that leads your mind into realms of thought that you never knew existed. However, when it is looked at as a single book it is fairly weak. It ends with only a hint of closure that the dark man was found. As another reviewer has stated this easily could have been merely added onto the second part of the series (The Drawing of the three), and then it would have bolstered the strength of both stories. My four stars are generous when they rate just this book, but when used as a rating for what it fortells of what is to come, it is a pitiful grading scale because mere stars cannot define its impact.
Rating: Summary: One of Stephen King's Worst Books Review: I didn't like this book. It seemed to be a story about nothing. What more is there to say?
Rating: Summary: Excellant! Review: Personally, this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. The story follows a man on a lonely journey to pursue the mysterious man in black who holds the secret to his future. The scenes are dazzling and the symbolism will blow you away. This book will keep you reading until the climatic end with a special scifi twist to it. I definately give this book five stars :)
