Started The Dark Tower series (Stephen King), not sure what to expect from this one lol.

This series was up and down for me. The highs are really high and the lows only seem low bc the highs are so good. I read the first book in one day. Wizard and Glass was my favorite (and maybe one of my favorite King books ever). Song of Susannah was one of the lows. The final book I started and stopped multiple times over the course of a couple of years until I finally pushed through the first 150-200 pages…then I loved it.

He's all over the place in this series and he gets very meta at times. You can feel the line between pre-car accident King and post-car accident King.

Overall, worth taking the time to read and don't let the lows get you down…push through and finish. You'll be glad you did!

One of the few I've read twice. The first time, Gunslinger was ok, but Drawing of the Three was my favorite book for many years. The second time, I really liked Wolves of the Calla a lot more. Agree there are ups and downs, but King is a master story teller with an easy style regardless.
