The Dark Tower

I've just finished the final Dark Tower book. I'm not sure who all here may be familiar with Stephen Kings work but, I imagine most of you have atleast craked open one of his works at one point or another. I Highly suggest that you read this series if you are a fan, if you hate him, if you've never heard of him. It has to be one of the greatest epics stories I've ever read (yes including Tolken's LOTR). If you've read up to the end you now know all there is to know. If you haven't prepare yourself for a journey.

Stephen King once again asserts his skill in storytelling. In even the last few pages (which I was greedily absorbing) I experianced just about every emotion I could think of. I'll give not one thing away here and I hope that anyone else who has read it or is reading it will do the same.

It is a powerfull story. It would have to be to spur me to post about it indepenantly of any other comment. It also speaks to a part of the pyche that I think we use little in the way this story uses it. No sooner do I feel it than I forget how it felt to read it. For tonight the end will resonate unlike the other books have. I have little doubt that tomorrow I'll remember that I loved the book.. but, won't quite be able to recall the feeling as it was. (until I once again pick up the book that is)
