not with a bang but a whimper Stephen King is one of the great story-tellers of the twentieth century, but he has always had difficulties with endings (think of the farce of the Stand, or the pathetic conclusion of It). It was with some trepidation, therefore, that I approached this final volume of the series. Before even starting it I thought I just hope he doesn't....But that was exactly what he did. The ending is the most predictacle and the weakest one imaginable. Please, if you have enjoyed the first six novels, don't read this... more info
Gutted! I'm still at a loss as to how people have given this book 5 stars. I've now read the whole series from start to finish and have to say, that the first 4 (possibly 5) are excellent books. Song of Susannah and the Dark Tower have completely ruined what could have been Kings crowning glory. Kings ridiculous sub-plots, pathetic villains and non-emotive deaths for the members of the ka-tet are criminal!
KING! Genius in the writing, King knew what he was doing from book 1. The ending is not the doom as everyone sees it.
Do not waste your money King should cover himself in ashes and hide away in the darkest corner of his dark tower to dare publish such absolute crap.
