Hear me, I beg ye: The new Dark Tower book is great |
|
I'm only a fourth of the way into it, but it's damn good. Damn good. All things follow the beam.

1. Sweet. I love that series. |
|
Particularly the first book. Magic, cowboys, and feudalism make for a seriously strange world.

6. If you didn't like Wizard & Glass... |
|
...you may not be as fond of Wolves of the Calla as some of us here. It's certainly not more-of-the-same (far from it), but it does continue along the same lines.

7. Does King get past the major suckage of Wizard and Glass? |
|
Lordy, what a case of writer's block! Just tell the darn story.

Dammit, I just bought a bunch of new books. Now I have to buy one more.

15. Couple of weeks ago, do you ken? |
|
Very recently, at any rate. Plus, there's an unrelated story about Roland in "Everything's Eventual" that's worth checking out.

10. The first three are my favorite books...ever... |
|
but the fourth sucked ass and made me lose interest. How does this one rate to the first three?

13. I haven't read the others in a while |
|
so I can't rightly say. This is similar to Wizard and Glass, but different...but I liked the fourth one, chiefly because I like all that background character development stuff. Probably explains why I have blown so much money on nearly everything Tolkein-related ever published.
If you're not sure, grab it at a library and start reading it.

11. Why does everyone think the 4th book sucked ass? |
|
It wasn't as good as the first three (I liked #2 the best), but it wasn't that bad. Was it?
