I'm more than a bit pissed that Stephen King reduced himself to adding it to the bloated joke of a story the Dark Tower turned out to be. I'm currently trying to force myself to finish book 7. Damn I feel sorry for people who waited their whole adult lives for the last books of the series.

Anyways... I saw the beginning of the flameout, but then had to go up North for a few hours. Missed the glorious part.

My avatar probably proves I'm quite a fan of the Dark Tower. Though the last three books are nothing compared to the first four, they are still worth reading. You've got this far so finish it. It helps to listen to the audiobooks, which are actually recommended by King. The late Frank Muller does 1-4 and George Guidall does 5-8, and they both do a fantastic job.

If only King wouldn't have offed Randall Flagg (Walter, The Man in Black) the way he did....

I read the first five, and have done 6-7 via audio book. It is nice to use the audio book during my boring drives to surveys. Makes the 2 hour drive each way go by much faster.

Ginsu Victim:
Oh, that means you missed out on Frank Muller, probably the best audiobook narrator EVER.

I'll probably forget it anyway before I get around to reading that series, I've got a lot of other books I want to read (or finish reading) first.

shardian:
And yes, book 6 was possibly the worst King book that I have read. I was a bit put off by some of the weird stuff in book 2-3 and 5, but this just got ridiculous. It is quite obvious he has struggled to come up with a way to finish the series. I would rather him admit defeat than 'dial it in' the way it has been so far. I have heard enough about this 7th book that I am not holding my breath for a grand finale. Actually, I generally know how it ends already.
