His ability of killing a character for the sake of story is good. I'd be bummed if he killed off Roland but he's always said roland might not be the one to finish the quest.Īs I write this a fantsy ending to the Dark Tower series and Kings career come to mind: Roland fails in the last minute, the world crumbles on its axis and the story teller is forever silenced.

One of the great things about King is he's always willing to kill of a character for the sake of the story and or to shock you. The rumors going around about the fates of the characters, and the secrets of the Tower make me sad, as by now, I've built up Roland in my head so much.if he weren't to make it, or if he were to die before figuring out what it was.I think I may cry. I read the first two and half books and I'm reading about 50-60 pages a night as I go on trying to get thru the rest of Wizard and Glass so I can be fully ready for Wolves of Calla. When I moved into my new apartment, I had no cable or phone for a week. I'm reading this for the 2nd time as we speak, and I just realized I have no recollection of how it ends. Longer then the first too, not long enough, but longer Holy ****! I hated King so much at the end of this book, 3 years before he published the followup.3 years I wanted to know how they fared with Blaine. The story was so well done, that I read Gunslinger/Drawing about 3 more times hanging on EVERY word. Roland's character has his other side developed, and we meet 4 very interesting characters to boot. I read this book 10 times before my friend Ed pointed out that there was a 2nd book out. As Roland traveled across the pages looking for his Tower, looking for the Man in Black, and stumbling across Jake. One of my favorite authors writing an old west fantasy novel? How could it be wrong? And it wasn't. The first time I read the Gunslinger, I was in total awe. His parents were hardcore religous folks, and didn't even allow him to play Mario, so he got his 'pretend' fix thru reading. My friend Ed introduced me to The Gunslinger on one of our trips to the library. This is probably my all time favorite series. I guess I should probably go a little more 'in depth' then that, and sicne I can't sleep, well now'd be a good time.
