The Dark Tower Dark Tower v 7 Stephen King 9780340827215 Books

...but maybe not the conclusion they were hoping for. King's final volume in The Dark Tower jumps off the bridge we were at in Song of Susannah. Jake and Callahan find the Dixie Pig and discover a chamber filled with horros they can't imagine. "Mia" gives birth to her chap and Jake follows in hopes of saving her. Roland and Eddie are on their own journey still trapped in the "real" world trying to find a way to Susannah and save her. She's been taken to a birthing room of sorts where, once she gives birth to Mordred, her life will be forfeit. All of this occurs in the first 40 pages of the novel and with 805 more to go you know that King has quite a tale to tell. I enjoyed Michael Whelan's illustrations and, while I liked all the illustrators that worked on the preceding books, Whelan's have always been the best representation to me of King's world. It's only fitting that he should illustrate the last book since he illustrated the first as well.

As to the fate of Randall Flagg, well I didn't find it to be fitting for an ongoing character but it did seem to work within the context of the book. For those of you looking for plot spoilers look elsewhere I'm not a fan of this practice when it comes to books so you'll have to cast your vote for someone else if that's the case. I'd agree that the book does ramble on a bit too long. However, King never has been known for his brevity.

I both satisfied and dissatisfied with The Dark Tower. The conclusion was satisfying in the same way that a terrific meal can be as you push your away from the kitchen table. The dissatisfaction arises from the fact that you know the meal is over and maybe every dish did not turn out exactly as you had wanted it to but, overall, things were quite tasty. The good news is that there's always leftovers in the form of the central books and all the connecting stories. So if you haven't jumped into the offshoots of The Dark Tower series by all means do so. Most of the books that are connected are terrific so you'll be able to relive little moments just like the leftovers from a memorable meal.

The end of King's tale isn't perfect. Does it end exactly the way I wanted it to? No but it does provide more closure than I expected. On the other hand, the end seemed a bitter pill to swallow compared to the previous 800 pages. Maybe King was just exhausted and couldn't come up with a more satisfying ending for himself. Maybe he felt this literary trick was the best way to conclude the series which was his bid for an epic tale. Either way, the series and the book is, as a whole, satisfying with some moments I didn't care for.

The Dark Tower Dark Tower v 7 Stephen King 9780340827215 Books Reviews

It's been a long time since I first read the Dark Tower. It was originally a wait I thought would not end, but thankfully it did and that was now well over 10 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the series again over the last few months. It is a long read and a time was slow and hard going. But it is always worth it.
The last book if the series is arguably its best. I always appreciated that the loose ends were tied adequately. For me that was important at the time and I found it satisfying again. This last story is full of the twists and turns you come to expect as you journey to the tower. It is final and at time pulls hard on the heart.
This is a great read. A great way to finish the epic story of Roland and the quest for the Dark Tower.
With The Dark Tower movies beginning to take shape, it seems logical to assume there will be a resurgence of people wanting to see what these books are all about. I started Book 1 about 5 months ago and Roland's journey just ended for me (several minutes ago, in fact!). You're most likely going to read horrible reviews on here, how Stephen King dropped the ball and this book is a hopeless letdown. My personal opinion of the matter is this book is quite simply the best of the entire series. The pacing, revelations, surprises, and twists absolutely never let up. From traveling under Caste Discordia to having dinner with Dandelo, I was completely enthralled from beginning to end. The last 20 pages or so of the book are your call to make what you will of how everything wraps up. Personally, it isn't how I wanted the story to end, but that in no way devalues the absolutely brilliant 99.9% of it. This series is my adult "Harry Potter" series. I will cherish these stories and will be reading Roland's journey to the tower again for you ears to come.
It's hard to review this book, because it's the end of the road. I've reached the clearing at the end of the path so to speak. I feel like I have to review the journey as a whole, and that's tough. It's been a hell of a ride. Before the Gunslinger I hadn't really picked up a long series like this in quite a while. In light of that, I decided to space the series out, and really make it last. That turned out to be an excellent decision on my part, because it made the journey that much longer, and that much sweeter. Roland's quest for the Tower was a long one. Full of excitement, horror, sacrifice, love, darkness.. and light. And I think Stephen King wrapped up the ending perfectly. I loved it. I couldn't rate The Dark Tower anything less than five stars after finishing it. Full-body chills were achieved and a good portion of time was spent staring at the wall in front of me. It honestly made me want to crack open the Gunslinger and take the trip again.

I'm sure that someday I will.
The only complaint I could possibly make is that the book came without a dust jacket. Big deal. Otherwise it is in excellent condition & may well never have been read. So that's that for the condition.

I've been a Stephen King fan since I was technically too young to read his books (I first read "The Shining" at 5 1/2), but the Dark Tower series has always been one of my favourite things. Yeah, people complain that it was too long between books and that each book was too stylistically different and that they just plain don't like what happens in a book, but here's one 'constant reader' who has nary a complaint. I have loved the whole series and this the final book is absolutely perfect. I read it cover to cover in one sitting and just sat there smiling. If you're anything of a Stephen King fan, I strongly recommend the Dark Tower series. And if you've read all of them but this one, shame on you! Get it right now and start reading! You will not be disappointed!
