How was the series as a whole?

Most everyone says it starts out awesome and is pretty consistent throughout, but the last two books, the last one especially, are fucking incredibly horrible.

>Most everyone says it starts out awesome
Except those who have good taste and realize it sucked all the way through because King can't write

Shut your face. The first five are amazing, especially the Gunslinger. Goddamn.

i loved them all. I cant understand why people would be unhappy with the final 2

I read The Gunslinger a couple of weeks ago.  It was OK.

King has said it himself, he's a shitty writer. He is, however, a brilliant storyteller, which is just as, if not more, important.

Anyone have a txt of the seventh book? I've got the dead tree, but I'd like a non-PDF digital as well.

some of his stories are OK, and this is precisely why the films are generally better

But until we get a film for what quite a lot of people see as his best story- The Dark Tower- we've got to do with the books.

The whole series was fantastic.
Say what you will about his work becoming less as the years wore on, this was his opus.

He described it as his own canturbury tales, a thing to go on and on, and it did, and he did finish it, unlike the Tales. though the ending... that was a bit of a mindfuck, if you have read through the whole series in order, one after another before reading the final chapet.

now way anything by King can compare to The Canterbury Tales, dude, don't even try to make that kind of comparison

I like the irony of someone so vehemently saying that nothing by Stephen King can compare to the Canterbury Tales, and not using proper English to do so.

Learn to capitalize, spell, and use proper punctuation.

I've been told I shouldn't read these if I'm not familiar with his other books, as he makes references to them.

This true?

I never read any of his other works, and this is still great.  It does make me want to read his other works to understand the allusions better.  I have picked up The Stand, and I also want to read Salem's Lot.
