And finally, he realises, he may have to walk the last dark strait alone.įirst, let’s take a look at the positive reviews: As he finally closes in on the tower, Roland's every step is shadowed by a terrible and sinister creation. Roland and Eddie are in Maine, looking for the site which will lead them to Susannah. Susannah-Mia has been carried off to New York to give birth, Terrified of what may happen, Jake, Father Callahan and Oy follow. Roland's band of pilgrims remains united, though scattered. I did not particularly like book six, for many reasons, and although I have warmed to it during re-reads it still remains, in my opinion, a weakness, but luckily book seven, this book, provides the series with the fitting denouement it deserves. I found books four and five tough going on first read but wonderfully enjoyable on re-read. The first three Dark Tower books are amongst the best I have read in the genre. My thoughts can be read in the preceding six reviews but I will try to recap my reading experience in one paragraph: So when I reach the final review I like to look at what others say, what the majority have loved or detested about the seven books. Over thirty years in the writing, it is a vast, sprawling tale of one man's quest, some may say obsession, and the story is excellent, the characters that populate it amongst that special type that remain with the reader forever. Yes, I have slight reservations but when taken as a whole it is the magnum opus that its author, Stephen King, hoped it would be. I hold the Dark Tower series in the very highest regard. When it gets to the last book in a series there is very little left unsaid.
