Ok, so this is a thread for all those who are D.T. fans. Come here to discuss the book and share ideas, however if you do have a spoiler, be sure to mark it for the slow reader

I'm trying to read all of his books and the Dark Tower series is the last on my list, simply because it'll take the longest and I'll have to absorb a lot.

Interesting first post though.

My friend has suggested the series to me many times. I am only half-interested, however, and I don't have the time.

rajan530 · 12-1-2007, 06:22 PM

yeah, i know exactly what you guys mean, Im on the fourth book [out of 7] and i sometimes hate it. My reading list is soo long :[

NFD · 12-1-2007, 06:23 PM

Try the Redwall series. ;l

mead1 · 12-2-2007, 02:30 PM

**** the fourth book. Seven-hundred page flash-back. Lowest point of the series.

**smartdude1212** · 12-2-2007, 02:36 PM

4th book is The Waste Lands, right? If so, I heard the ending was a disappointment.

It wasn't that bad, it actually sets the scene for later events.

I just started reading the first one. A lot of confusion with the flashbacks and everything...

sad_clown · 12-6-2007, 07:20 PM

I've read all of the books and i do think that the fourth one is the biggest dissapointment of them all.

Verruckter · 12-6-2007, 09:00 PM

The first one so far is pretty stupid... I don't know.. something just seems way too silly.

**Gun92** · 12-6-2007, 10:54 PM

The whole series is fricken awesome, I loved every book. Ive read through them all 3 times now, its just that awesome

Yeah, I didn't like the first one much either. Believe me though, it really picks up. If you get through the Drawing of the Three and still don't like it, give up. But you will like it, so no worries.

I'm very close to the end of the last book. Soon my life will be complete.

The end of the first one was decent. I bought another book before finishing it, though, so I'm going to finish this one before I start the second Dark Towers.

I did like the fight between Roland and his master and the little chat with the Man in Black.

**Gun92** · 12-20-2007, 12:08 AM

If you have the chance, go out and buy the graphic novel, its very very good

Verruckter · 12-27-2007, 11:31 AM

I just bought and started the second novel. Will post thought when I'm done in two or three days.

**TheRapingDragon** · 12-27-2007, 11:45 AM

Only read the first book (due to money restraints) but I plan on reading them all eventually. Pretty good book but definitely not his best.

Verruckter · 12-30-2007, 01:34 PM

Just finished the second book.. The beginning was awesome, but the rest was way too long. As soon as he starts dragging Detta and all that.. and then with the third door... Meh, could of been better. Sometimes I had to force myself to read and that's definately not a good thing.
