The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, Book 7)

by Stephen King

At one point in this final book of the Dark Tower series, the character Stephen King (added to the plot in Song of Susannah) looks back at the preceding pages and says "when this last book is published, the readers are going to be just wild." And he's not kidding.
After a journey through seven books and over 20 years, King's Constant Readers finally have the conclusion they've been both... (read more)

    “The ending was perfect. Really makes you wonder if it worked out the same way with the horn or not.”

    “I loved Roland, I hated Roland . . . does that make any sense? Shouldn't he be eternally damned to repeat this over and over until he gets it right? How many chances did he get along the way only to choose sacrifice each time for the precious tower? You'll learn eventually Roland . . . I think the ending was just as it should be!”

    “Yes, chin-fan, I agree. Besides, getting into the series--you had to know most of them would probably die, lol. But not permanently, which is the best part of the series--it just keeps going.”

    “Wow, I am thoroughly impressed. I ignored his advice with a vengeance. I *had* to see, after so many years of reading the series. I can't believe anybody COULD ignore his advice, and for that, I salute you, sir.

    Also, I love lemon bars. But only if they're very lemony and not too sweet.”

    “I don't want to sound over the top here, but I kind of decided to base my life religion/philosophy around the search for the tower (check out my homepage blurb). I think I like the idea of reincarnation and betterment, and that's basically what Roland is doing. So, I love the ending. And it is kind of an excuse to pick up book 1 after book 7 is finished...”

    “I haven't read everyone else's answers because I didn't finish the book. I stopped where Stephen King asked me to. I had been reading the series for so long that I came to trust King, to trust his storytelling. When he said, "Hey, this was always about Roland GETTING here, not finding out WHAT was here," I agreed. I closed the book right then and just sat for a while taking it all in. I plan on reading the series a number of times in my life but I already know I will probably never read the final part. I may very well die not knowing what is in the Tower. ...and I'm okay with that.”

    “I hated Susannah. This is my absolute favorite work of fiction, PERIOD, and I hated her. With a passion.”

    “Tell us how you really feel about her =D

    Technically, they all lived in the other-world, right? So none of them really died. Susannah seemed to be the only one who had a bit of sense, Jake and Eddie would have followed Roland all the way to the end. However, she was ready to cut and run - she seemed to have an inner sense about the Tower and wanted nothing to do with it.

    Woman's intitution and all...

    Now if only Roland had followed her lead, he wouldn't have had to start over and he would have been reunited with Eddie!”
