COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR THE BIBLE IN LATER GENERATIONS

I had avoided Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series for a long time, and now feel quite dumb for having made the effort. I had worked under the false assumption that since Stephen King was best known for writing straight horror that was all that he could write, and "The Dark Tower" sure didn't sound like straight horror. As it turned out Stephen King is good at absolutely everything, including epic, cross-generational, large scale, near-religious, apocolyptic drama. "The Dark Tower" series is some of his very best work, filled with any variety of adventure and suspense, not to mention some of the fullest characters that he has ever writen. "The Drawing of the Three" is the standout of the series so far, not to suggest that the others are slouches. Get these books. You will not be disappointed, even if you typically dislike King.

A twisted world...

The gunslinger, our dark hero, lives in a twisted dark mirror image of a world NOT unlike our own, which is 'moving on', ever changing and breaking down even as he moves within it. Robotic bears and talking trains, cowboys and castles, magic and science all mixed into a story that is neither fantasy nor science fiction but a mixture of both.

So far an awesome epic adventure!

The first book in the series was a little boring but necessary to set up the adventure. I think if I re-read it I would enjoy it more. The other two more than make up for it, with number 2 being the highlight of the series so far. It takes a great writer to make a series this complex work. This series shows how gifted Stephen King really is.

These book are VERY good

I just finished reading "The waste lands" It was a great book. They just keep getting better and better. These books have helped broaden my sense of knowledge and wisdom. You come to love the characters, from Roland, the strange gunslinger from a dying world, all the way down the that stupid billy bumbler Jake carries around. These books are great, and I hope Stephin King isn't dead, so he can keep writing these great novels.

What a series

Like a previous reviewer, I also came across this series out of shere boredom when I was sitting in my high school library 6 years ago. I simply pulled one book totally blindfolded out of a shelf and it happened to be the Gunslinger, the original. I instantly become attached and couldn't wait for the next edition. Each addition was better than the last, with The Wizard's Glass being the highlight. I hope Mr. King intends to finish this series, because as a fan of King, I regard these works as his best.
