The lastest tome in the "Dark Tower" saga was released on Tuesday and I got my copy last night. Is anyone else reading this? Spoiler: Only King would write himself into his own story lol.

I didn't know this was out! Thanks for the info. The Dark Tower is my absolute favourite book series. I can't wait to get this book. Thank goodness it is summer because my reading list is expanding by the day!

I'm only just coming up on page 100 (had a lot of house-cleaning to do this weekend *ugh*) but this story is completely gripping!

Don't you hate when house cleaning gets in the way of the important stuff?

yes, but I made up for it last night, stayed up past my bedtime reading lol. This book totally makes up for (and then some) the disappointment I felt at "Wolves of the Calla." It is such an awesome story!

I'm done, I'm done, I'm done!! Can't wait for September to see how the whole rigamarole winds up!! Spoiler: The writer's end notes at the end of the book are classic (even if they are from character King and not the true King lol).

I'm dragging it out - only reading a little bit each day as - let's face it - this may be the last King book ever as well as being the last book of the Dark Tower series. I am in awe of this man who can keep so many plot balls in the air AND keep them viable.

I finally finished "The Dark Tower" last night. While I'm not entirely happy with the way the book ended I understand why it ended the way it did. I would have been highly upset if King hadn't added the "coda" which actually was the ending. While the great schlockmeister can say that the bang at the end of sex is just your body's way of saying I'm done, to me, the during is fun but what's the point if you never get the bang. (This will make sense to anyone who reads the last 30 pages of the book). RIP Oy

Is the end of this story the beginning? I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I can't remember how the first book started!

Carlly: Yes. Basically King sent Roland through a time-loop.
