XXXIWhat in the midst lay but the Tower itself?The round squat turret, blind as the fool's heart,Built of brown stone, without a counter-partIn the whole world. The tempest's mocking elfPoints to the shipman thus the unseen shelfHe strikes on, only when the timbers start.XXXIINot see? because of night perhaps?---why, dayCame back again for that! before it left,The dying sunset kindled through a cleft:The hills, like giants at a hunting, lay,Chin upon hand, to see the game at bay,---"Now stab and end the creature---to the heft!"XXXIIINot hear? when noise was everywhere! it tolledIncreasing like a bell. Names in my earsOf all the lost adventurers my peers,---How such a one was strong, and such was bold,And such was fortunate, yet, each of oldLost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.XXXIVThere they stood, ranged along the hill-sides, metTo view the last of me, a living frameFor one more picture! in a sheet of flameI saw them and I knew them all. And yetDauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,And blew. "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came."

^I was at first, but then I came to appreciate it a little more.Fantastic series overall though, for the journey if not for the ending. Incredible books.

I fell off the train somewhere in the middle of book II drawing of the threeI've been thinking about dusting off the old library card and trying it again. (I dont buy books for some reason, I just dont) What sucks is that the laundry room in the complex where I live has book III right there in the open along with a bunch of other shitty novels. I wont open a page of it until i'm done with book II so I'm forced to just look at it. Damn you Stephen King

i started to read it, thought i would enjoy it too much, and haven't finished the first book
4/17/2009 3:11:31 AM
the first one was decent, chasing the man in black, the fucked up towns people, the weird ghost boy, THE GUNSLINGER. It was all pretty fun to read, I just got bored as fuck in the middle of drawing of the three. Maybe it picks up, I hope
4/17/2009 3:21:51 AM
It goes back and forth between awesome and drawn out.
4/17/2009 4:03:24 AM
The Gunslinger and Drawing of the Three both get kind of slow, pull through it and you'll be rewarded. Books III and IV (The Waste Lands, Wizard and Glass) are my favorites of the series.

Here's a tip, when the author of the book breaks in right before hte end and says 'You know what, you might want to just stop here instead of reading the last few pages', you know it's gonna suck.
4/17/2009 2:16:31 PM
I haven't read past wizard and glass, but I enjoyed the series up to that point. I'm considering not reading the rest so I can go on believing that it's a decent series.
4/17/2009 2:19:36 PM
If you've started - go ahead and finish. It's good up until the last book, and there are parts of the last book that are good. You'll know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.But yeah, I would advise against reading past the part where he says to stop.
4/17/2009 2:51:01 PM
I disagree...I think you're copping out of the whole series if you don't read the ending...sure its pretty shitty compared to some of the other amazing parts of the series, but it definitely ends with a message of hope if you read it carefully!
4/17/2009 2:54:45 PM
It certainly does, and that's what redeemed the ending in my eyes. You have to read the ending very carefully or you'll miss something important. My dad, who has been following this series since the second book came out in the early 80's and has read most of them twice, missed it until I mentioned what I had noticed.
4/17/2009 3:34:35 PM
Oh, I know what you guys are talking about, I caught it, but a lot of my problems with the story are compounded by the circumstances in the book prior.I just wasn't satisfied with the whole thing. I think cutting it off earlier may have changed my perception.
4/17/2009 4:00:43 PM
4/17/2009 9:39:40 PM
i mean, the guy told you not to read the ending, longtime fans have spent years and years waiting to find out what is answered past that point and letting there imaginations run wild, can anything be truly satisfyingpotenetial spoiler alert:^^i'm assuming what you guys are talking about ISNT horn related, right?[Edited on April 17, 2009 at 10:20 PM. Reason : if something else, pm me, if it is that, it seemed pretty obvious and hard to miss, IMO]
