[A] hypnotic blend of suspense and sentimentality...sprawling, eventful tale of demons, monsters, narrow escapes, and magic portals., "With the conclusion of this tale...King has certainly reached the top of his game."--Publishers Weekly(starred 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., "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, 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., "One gets the feeling that this colossal story means a lot to King, that he's telling it because he has to....He's givingThe Dark Towereverything 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), "[A] 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, "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."  , "With the conclusion of this tale...King has certainly reached the top of his game." -- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review), "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"

    Purchased a hardcover book from this seller and not only was the entire purchase experience excellent but also, and more importantly, the book was in even better condition than listed!!! Overall a wonderful experience! Seller was very communicative and responsive, a very fast shipper, and the book was properly packaged for protection. Book was in excellent condition (better than "good" as listed). Will definitely purchase from seller again!! Thanks to the seller!!!

    The item was exactly as described, the value, was excellent and the shipping and packaging were amazing! I'm very happy with this seller and would definitely recommend them to anyone who was looking for a great seller to purchase from! This coloring book is excellent for anyone who knows someone who's been affected by someone who's either had cancer, or had cancer themselves! A must purchase! This item was listed as good, but I would've rated it as excellent!

  • Great Stephen King Series

    This is a must have for any Stephen King fan. It's actually the seventh of eight books in the series, so I actually recommend you get all of them in the series before reading this one.
