Ok so I just finished reading the Dark Tower series. A series that has haunted my Stephen King reading existence. I series that I always felt kept me from being a “true Stephen King” fan. I am done and can now say, “I am a fan of Stephen King, I have read the Dark Tower Series, bow down to me”. Or something like that.

There were a few times I was tired of the endless plotlines and characters traipsing in and out, there were some cheese factors that I wish were better written (i.e. The appearance of the man himself, SK) but it could be overlooked once you take in the series in it’s entirety. The series as a whole is brilliance and made of many thought provoking, awe inspiring, and even heartbreaking moments. I recommend all to read it and take in the brilliance that is The Gunslinger’s opening line:
