I'm not really into Fantasy but I love Stephen King and have read about 90% of his books, I've started to read a few of the Dark Tower series and it just seemed like they were not my thing. Whats your opinion on the series am I misjudging the books??? How good are they compared to regular King Novels???
Originally posted by FischerKing Bought it the day it came out but haven't read it yet. Been working thourgh "When Pride Still Mattered" first.
Got all the King books including the DT series. I've read them all and my favorites are the first and the fourth so far.

What is you favorite King Novel, Ive read almost all of them, missed out on only a couple like Bag of Bones and Hearts of Atlantis and a few others got to check. I really like Insomnia
Quick poll: Would it be worth it for me tom go and buy 1-5 of these books? I enjoy King for the most part, and read the first two of these books years ago.
-or-
Should I just forget about trying to ever get back iknto this series and forge out on my own?

I think they are worth the money - but then again I love the series so I'm biased.

Insomnia ranks high up on my list. My all-time favorites though are the DT Series. Carrie was good as well - the first of his books I ever read.

Always been a huge SK fan but I just started the Dark Tower series.
I have to say after the first one I'm kind of scratching my head. Definitely falls into the fantasy category and piqued my interest enough to get me to read Drawing of the Three but I wouldn't even put it on my top 5 SK books. Maybe the series picks up but if I had started in 1982 I probably would've forgotten all about it by the time the second one came out.

the first one is a lot different from the rest...almost like he was trying to be poetic...haven't read wolves of Cahalla yet..plan to soon...read his other books so long ago though that I doubt I'll remember all of the characters he put in this book from the past books...Some times I find it too far fetched like anything can happen. I mean you still want it to try to be based in some kind of reality right? It feels like all the main characters could be blown away and then on the next page they could be at disney land or something...I like my books to feel like they are in normal reality except for a few supernatural things...
Just a quick, last minute update thing...the official Stephen King newsletter just announced that the sixth book in the Dark Tower saga will be published a full two months earlier than originally planned due to overwhelming popular demand. The release date for Song of Susannah has moved up from August 24th to June 8th, and the final book, The Dark Tower, is now coming out September 21st. This is great news for those of us that have waited nearly 30 years for this tale to be complete.
I'm almost done with Drawing of the Three and I have definitely become engrossed in the series. I wasn't too thrilled with the first one but after reading that one and now Drawing of the Three, I realize that while neither are incredible books on their own, they are very engaging setups for a larger epic. Can't wait to get to The Wastelands!
