Reviews
"One gets the feeling that this colossal story means a lot to King, that he's telling it because he has to....He's giving "The Dark Tower" everything he's got." -- "San Francisco Chronicle"

"With the conclusion of this tale...King has certainly reached the top of his game." -- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review)

"YA? hypnotic blend of suspense and sentimentality...sprawling, eventful tale of demons, monsters, narrow escapes, and magic portals." -- "The New York Times Book Review"

"[A] hypnotic blend of suspense and sentimentality...sprawling, eventful tale of demons, monsters, narrow escapes, and magic portals." -- The New York Times Book Review

Publisher's Weekly A pilgrimage that began with one lone man's quest to save multiple worlds from chaos and destruction unfolds into a tale of epic proportions. While King saw some criticism for the slow pace of 1982's The Gunslinger, the book that launched this series, The Drawing of the Three (Book II, 1987), reeled in readers with its fantastical allure. And those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy ever since will find their loyalty toward the series' creator richly rewarded. The tangled web of the tower's multiple worlds has manifested itself in many of King's other works -- The Stand (1978), Insomnia (1994) and Hearts in Atlantis (1999), to name a few. As one character explains here, "From the spring of 1970, when he typed the line The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed...very few of the things Stephen King wrote were 'just stories.' He may not believe that; we do." King, in fact, intertwines his own life story deeper and deeper into the tale of Roland and his surrogate family of gunslingers, and, in this final installment, playfully and seductively suggests that it might not be the author who drives the story, but rather the fictional characters that control the author. This philosophical exploration of free will and destiny may surprise those who have viewed King as a prolific pop-fiction dispenser. But a closer look at the brilliant complexity of his Dark Tower world should explain why this bestselling author has finally been recognized for his contribution to the contemporary literary canon. With the conclusion of this tale, ostensibly the last published work of his career, King has certainly reached the top of his game. And as for who or what resides at the top of the tower...The many readers dying to know will have to start at the beginning and work their way up.

Gunslingers Unite!

The Dark Tower, happens to be Book 7 (and the final) in the series of the same name by Stephen King. First of all, let me just say that this is a phenomenal series! I have learned so many things from Roland- the Gunslinger himself. These things include being honest with yourself and others- even to the point of not telling white lies to spare people's feelings because the truth is what it is. This is very freeing. Also, the fact that you are what you are, so be the best at it. Simple as that.

Another thing that is interesting about this series is that Stephen King actually puts himself in the series as a character interacting with his characters. How our actions and choices today actually affect other people and ourselves in the future in big ways. How our emotions can mislead us into making wrong choices. So many things in this series to think about and learn.

Roland is a very believable character. His adventures are fantastic and interesting. His family completes the picture in many ways.

This final book completes the journey that was begun in Book 1 in unexpected but wondrous ways.

A must read- but not until the reader has read the other books in sequence first.

A long awaited ending to a multi-book series.

This story started approximately 20 years ago. It is a wonderful fantacy. I've read all the other six books in the series, and enjoied them emensely. I love Stephen King's writing style, and this book holds true to that style. I purchaced this novel to find out the ending of this long and wonderful tale. It's 830 pages proved to be an intrigueing end to a truely epic adventure.

Goodbye Roland!

For all Stephen King fans of the Dark Tower series, it's finally here! Something we've been looking forward to and yet dreading at the same time for so many years. Well worth the wait. King outdoes himself with this final chapter on his epic tale of the gunslinger and his ka-tet. The characters, as always, feel like people you actually know instead of someone you just read about. The story is always lively and engaging, and completely absorbing. And while the ending may not have been to everyone's liking (I've heard a few grumbles here and there but I'm not spoiling the plot) it's vintage King. The beauty of his stories are you can make what you want of them. This entire series is a must-read for anyone looking for something good to sink their teeth into. Bravo Mr. King, and thank you for years of enjoyment.

The Dark Tower

Review For: The Dark Tower by Stephen King (2005, Paperback)

This is the last book in the Gunslinger Series by Stephen King. I love this book and look forward to reading it every night. At times when I can't sleep, I am up reading to find out "what is going to happen to Roland and his "ka-tet"

It is a great read and in typical Stephen King fashion, holds your interest on each page.

The Dark Tower

I'm a major Stephen King fan. I've waited for 20 years to read the whole Dark Tower series. As usual, he zeros in on good and evil and gives a good ride. The Dark Tower 7 is the last of the series. I was curious how he was going to handle the resolution and I was pleased with the ending. I think he's spot on. I'm am now feeling empty as I was filled up by reading the 7 books. I got to meet all the characters and get involved in their lives. They became a part of my family. That's how good King writes for me. Our relationship is over but I will remember these 7 novels and the final ending of the series.
