The Dark Tower

[galileo]

I really, really enjoyed the books. Oddly enough, looking back I feel that 4 may have been my favorite, even though it was a large departure from the series.

The end was very satisfying for me. I know some didn't seem to like it, but I felt that it summed up the adventure quite well. Roland was made for the journey and after the journey, there would be nothing else. Ka is a wheel.

I wonder if each time through he gets younger? The rose told him his fingers would return, so I assume he was back to his younger self when he returned to the desert.

I'm sad that it is over. I'll be reading Salem's Lot and Insomnia soon to cope.

11 years of my life were spent with Roland in some shape or form. Not many stories can make you feel like you're that close. And I say thank ye.

i knew some perspective may help.

I found the end satisfying too - altho there were soem hitches in the middle.

I think he does get younger and has the opportunity to do it all again, since the tower starts from when he's born.

i was really into that series, and most other king stuff when i was younger

i just find that he has the bad habit of letting stories unravel and follow too many unnecessary and unrelated paths

I think his self-absorbed inclusion was my biggest concern. I can excuse using Harry Potter and Star Wars references as I assume that the technology of the future came from ideas of the past, but when he became God's ghostwriter.

yeah that's the part that didn't sit right with me as well.

i really wish he hadn't written himself in.
