About to start book 2.
I'm a huge King fan and I'm ashamed to be starting this series so late.
Phenomenal read though. Really looking forward to the second book. I hear it only gets better from here.

You just read the best one in the series. All downhill from here.
The one with the train was intense, too.

I have read the series the times. The Dark Tower and GOT are my two favorite series.
Long days and pleasant nights.

The ending of the first one may be my favorite ending of a book. The Gunslinger was my favorite book in the series by a long shot .

You are in for a treat my friend.
Roland will be your dear friend by the inevitable end. I know he was mine.

The series has ups and downs. Well worth your time to read and I wish HBO would get the show.

Not in the slightest. Second, third, and fourth books are fantastic though. After that it becomes a shite sandwich.

The second one is my favorite. It is alot different than the first one, for better or worse. I liked the city settings and time period. I can understand people being disappointed because they were expecting more of the first one.

The second book is my least favorite but it's not bad. The third and fourth are the best of the series IMO.

Huge King fan, just couldn't get into the Dark Tower series.

I thought book 2 was fricking awful.
I'm sorry. I should state - "After feeling a sardonic wind, it was mah-fuhka awful."
Book 1 was great though. I was hooked. Book 2 dragged and dragged. Seemed like it could have been summed up in a few chapters.
After hearing that the ending to the series is awful too, I chose not to move on.

I've read almost everything King has written. And sadly, Roaad is right. The first book held so much promise. The subsequent books have moments of awesome, and lots of filler, strange plot turns, and missed opportunities. King wrote these over decades, and it shows.
And that ending. frick that fricking ending.

"The man in Black fled across the Desert, and the Gunslinger followed"
might be the greatest opening line of a book ever

I'm going to give this book a try. The Stand is my favorite book of all time.
