I just finished the series. That was pretty intense. Stephen King really did a great job. His life's work really. It was cool how a ton of his books have tied into the DT series.

Dudes, I am a King Junkie. Trying to get through his catalog. I just finished up with Bag of Bones which I really enjoyed. I read Fairytale before that and really liked it, although forgot it was King several times. Am about to start The Shining, but am not super excited about it since I basically know what happens.Love Stephen King - I just finished his latest book, "Fairy Tale" - very very solid book, definitley more in the fantasy genre like the Dark Tower series and less like the conventional horror/psychological stores like The Shining or Revival. I'd recommend it, fairly short read, definitely not an epic like The Stand.
Be excited! Honestly one of my favorites, the movie adaption is decent but the book has so much more depth, as is expected. I don't think that seeing the movie before reading the book (same boat for me) took away any kind of enjoyment from reading the novel, both stand up well on their own merit. A classic, must read for any Stephen King fan.Am about to start The Shining, but am not super excited about it since I basically know what happens.
I’ve been a huge fan of Stephen King for many years and read the The Stand in the 90’s. Because I am a fan my parents bought me The Stand Uncut in hard cover as a gift and it sat on my bookshelf for years. I finally pulled it off the shelf earlier this year and reread it and it was as good as ever, even with an additional 500 pages of material.I think my favorite so far has been the Stand, but I really enjoy all his stuff.
Read Eyes first. Its a quick read and a good story……and you may see someone on the road to the Tower.Dudes, I am a King Junkie. Trying to get through his catalog.

Ive got the Eyes of the Dragon in my queue, but again, for whatever reason it doesnt really excite me. Would you recommend Dark Tower series over Eyes of the Dragon?
Yes - hated the ending with the white hot intensity of a 1000 suns - a unit of measure known as a Ditka.Not a fan of the final entry. Really enjoy the rest of the series.
Nebraska football has been a dark tower for a long time. I'll allow it.Derrrp! This isn’t a sports post! Derrrrp!
Most film adaptations are worse than the books they are based on, especially Stephen King adaptations.great series
movie stinks
I found the book exponentially better. Stop when he tells you though. I enjoyed The Stand and another that surprised me in how much I liked it was Insomnia.I’ve been a huge fan of Stephen King for many years and read the The Stand in the 90’s.

Man the film adaptation of the "The Mist" was that way...ending was like WTFMost film adaptations are worse than the books they are based on, especially Stephen King adaptations.
I thought the film ending was much better. If I recall, King did as wellMan the film adaptation of the "The Mist" was that way...ending was like WTF
Ha I remember just kind of sitting through the credits, stunned that he whacked all those people and then was rescued like 1 min later.I thought the film ending was much better. If I recall, King did as well

Make sure you have a lot of time first. If you go the Audible route Muller does an outstanding job "telling" the story. It is quite the journey if you decide to strap in! Well worth it.How does one start this series? Also, I used to really enjoy reading books... however, admittedly, UNL turned me off of it. Would this series fix that? TYIA!
I want to watch it but Roland is definitely not black. I love Idris Elba but there is no way to follow the movie up with O'Detta being black and having distain early in the series.Most film adaptations are worse than the books they are based on, especially Stephen King adaptations.
What if I opt physical text?Make sure you have a lot of time first. If you go the Audible route Muller does an outstanding job "telling" the story. It is quite the journey if you decide to strap in! Well worth it.
That’s how I did it. Still, you’re going to need a lot of time to get through the 4,250 pages.What if I opt physical text?
I think Tolkien discussed a Dark Tower a long, long time ago.There was a board game called Dark Tower back in the 80’s, fun as heck.
