I still don't think you're getting it....
Anyway, I couldn't get thru the entire Dark Tower series. I forgot which book I was on, it was the one where Roland meets Susanna or something, it's been a while. The book just seemed to go on for ever without really moving the story forward. Maybe I'll finish the books someday, or maybe I'll just wait for the mini-series, http://www.tv.com/story/8764.html

I've heard of that project...hope it never realizes myself. Too broad of a story.
Personally, I have read the first 5. The fourth one is kind of a prequel and is an EXCELLENT stand-alone novel. I need to go ahead and get the last 2 and finish it up. I was told that the ending is VERY disappointing.

My wife and brother have both read all 7 books, and that seemed to be their feeling about the ending.

I had a WTF? moment when I finished the 7th book, but after a bit of thought, I think it may be one of the better endings I've read. It likely helps that I read the books back to back, so I didn't have to wait for 20+ years like some people did for the end. It certainly was an appropriate ending, in my opinion and truly genius if it's the one he had in mind from day one (no way to know if that's true or not, sadly).

A WTF? moment at the end would be very appropriate for this series. With the exception of book 4, WTF? moments were rampant. ;)
