  “The Dark Tower series is one long great yarn, one that sucks you in from the first page and makes you read until you suddenly realize the sun's gone down (or come back up again) and you have no idea how long you've been at it. This installment is full of King-ism for better or for worse: a cybernetic bear kaiju, an evil intelligent train, people-as-monsters, a kid far wiser than his years. There's some mind-bending-time-travel-paradox in there for good measure, too. What I really love about this series (and incidentally, what I also love in my favorite King book, The Talisman) is the "Through the Looking Glass" elements; Roland's world is a rough, distorted reflection of our own and it's fun to figure out the references both to our world and King's other novels.”

  “This is my favorite of all the Dark Tower books. The idea of Jake remembering his own death while trying to be a normal kid in NYC is awesome. Also includes the introduction of my favorite character, Oy. ”

  “This series is my all-time favorite. I spent years waiting for each new installment and was depressed for a week when I finished book 7. It was like saying goodbye to friends I've known for the past 18 years. However, people who can't appreciate very strange mind-F stories, these may not be for you.”
