For nearly the past two years I've been slowly reading through the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The first book, the Gunslinger, had a more slow progression of a story line, but it left me wanting to know more about Roland and his quest for the dark tower. In true Stephen King fashion I felt as though I was in the middle of Roland's story, so I needed to keep reading to figure it all out.
I've heard mixed responses to the end of the Dark Tower from other readers. I was satisfied with the ending and I feel like the I can happily leave the series. Many times at the end of a book series I think about the characters and miss them shortly after I've completed the books. However, with this series I know the characters are in their proper places, even though the journey to the end was a very emotional one for the reader.
I'm starting Under the Dome, a whopper of a book. Hope it's a paper turner.
