8 books, one short story, and one kids book… enveloping one weird Western tale in a world that has moved on.

      Idris Elba was such an intriguing choice for Roland, and he did a good job. Too bad the movie sucked.

        He would have kicked 12 kinds of ass as Cort in a faithful adaptation.

    I’ve read this 3 times and once as an audio book. Fantastic series and one of my favorites from King.

      My only complaint, and I mean only, is that he stopped doing the flashbacks to young Roland after the 4th book.

      Granted book 4 was virtually ALL flashback, but still, there was more story there that is missing now. :(

        Sometimes authors have to leave a little story out, to remind us that reality is difficult and unknowable

    Wonderful series, but as much as I love King’s work, the man just does not know how to end a story.

    Just a few posts up someone was talking about the “Weird West” genre of fantasy, and I was thinking about this exact series.

      When your coke habit says to write a children’s book, you don’t ask why.

      Jesus, that 5 year cliffhanger between book 3 and 4…
