Hello Ghost, Flake, and Spidey.

Ghost, I know I'm going to gather a lot of flack for saying this, but The Dark Tower series disappointed me, I bought the first few books and started to read them and I just found myself really sort of turned off by one of the characters. I also find The Dark Tower series way too sprawling and self indulgent or " fan indulgent. " I like the Gunslinger himself, and the Wastelands and the concept, but the black wheelchair lady's personality was really nails on a chalkboard for me. I found myself grimacing each time I came to her dialogue.

I know it's everyone epic favorite, but for some reason it's truly the only one I dislike. I also disliked the ending to The Dome, but thought that overall the book it's self was good. I guess it's a win some lose some kind of situation we can't all like every book.

:)
Welcome. I gotta say this. Read The Dark Tower series. Sometime. Don't say never. I did this then read WTTK on a whim. I have now read the entire series twice and I love it. When the time is right for you, you'll love it.
