Stephen King

All good things must come to an end, Constant Reader, and not even Stephen King can make a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best.Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room -- really a chamber of horrors -- in Thunderclap's Fedic; Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and Sixty-first with weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine, in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only one that matters.Thus the book opens, like a door to the uttermost reaches of Stephen King's imagination. You've come this far. Come a little farther. Come all the way. The sound you hear may be the slamming of the door behind you. Welcome to "The Dark Tower."

"Warning *spoilers* sort of 🤷🏻‍♀️ Torture reading this. It's almost as if the entire time I'm just looking for the tower myself, as I've read this series before, and the ONLY thing I remember is the end. Such a struggle just to get to nothing.Was that why Stephen King decided to shamelessly plop himself in the center of the story? Is that why he had to constantly make mention of his other books and the (mostly), crappy movies made about them? It was all just to cause readers agony, to truly be able to understand the curse that is the dark tower? 🤣 If I was as obsessed with the author as he is with himself, I might think so. But this is just bad. I don't know how I was such a huge fan, I guess things are far easier to overlook and ignore when you're young and naive. I don't know. He should've just let it go during one of his breaks. The last two books really seem like they are written by someone else. I wonder if his childlike need to be recognized no matter how famous or rich he is, is the reason .or if it's just how his kind changed after being hit..It's King's prerogative to insert himself into his work..but I guess it was just too much in this book. There were many more reasons I think this was the worst book but…I spent too much time on this already haaa.YEP. Say thankya. GAWD. "

"Hello folks, I've been in MIDWORLD reading this awesome Anthology. It ties in many of his stories, it's been fun discovering - o - that's where he got that idea! - but the series itself stands alone as an Epic. I'm not sure why, maybe a reluctance to finish, but finding it hard to get going in book 7. You'll love the characters, the settings, the time and parallel universe theories, and the fantastical tales! CANT PUT DOWN! "

"By far the best book in The Dark Tower series. Feels like 3 books wrapped up into one. With about 20 hours left in the audio book it made feel like the climax was right around the corner and I needed to sprint for the finish. A creative end to a lengthy tale. Emotions definitely make an appearance. This is a story that definitely requires outside research and discussion to settle the mind afterwards. "

"It will always be more than just a book"

"The series is great and it is a bit different from Stephen King but it is still his style of writing with an excellent mix of plot twists and horror blended with fantasy."

"Not usually I was really surprised when I enjoyed the series so much"

"I actually liked the wrong book unfortunately. The only Dark Tower book I have been listened to is the Gunslinger. It is worth a read and from my understanding the series as a whole is supposed to be well worth it."
