This is the last of the Dark tower series (though there is another novel and a short story in this time-line, with rumors of even more coming.) This would have been a sure fire 5 star, if not for the ever-present Stephen King over-writing and repetitions. I'm also not a big fan of his writing himself into this series. All of that being said, this was and is possibly Stephen King's magnum opus.

The road to The Dark Tower took seven rather thick volumes and almost a year for me, but thirty years for SK, and to be honest, I'll miss the characters that I've come to know so well. I will get around to reading the outliers of this series, but it will be a while. As much as I love the characters (SK is a master of character development; his characters are more often than not are someone that gets under your skin and a lot of times close to your heart.) I am glad to bring this to a somewhat satisfying end.
