Ratings and reviews

It's been years and years ago but I still won't forget the story. I read every one of the series and loved every one of them. Mr King is such a wonderful story teller.

Awesome. Stephen King is totally the best all around. Luv him. Hope he continues to write. I have totes full of his hardbacks, etc. Been a fan for many of years since I was younger and I'm 66 now. Luv him.

I've read the entire dark tower series and remained compelled to turn the pages even after the break between the 4th and 5th book when King almost lost his life in a car accident. It made completing the series all the more special after reading his prelogue explaining the driving force behind the completion of the series. Big fan
