The last one left me with a sour taste in my mouth I really didn't like the dairy ending. My favorite so far has been the drawing of the three. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't like the ending much but overall its one of my favourites of the series. The pacing of the book was perfect and it wasn't overlong like Wolves... |

did you hear that Paul Anderson (AvsP & Res Evil) is interested in making a film version? |
||||||||
|
|

It would be better if it were Pamela Anderson |

Till tomorrow then. Goddamn Smiths and their lying ass posters. |

I wonder if Asda will have them for £10 again |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how much is it at smiths? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

£22, unless you buy something else more expensive then it's half price. What a shit offer. But still.... I HAVE IT IN MY HANDS! |

O_o Don't look directly at it! It has a power and you will never be able to look away |

It seems you are right. I was staring it at, went into a trance, and when I woke up my boss was signing a form giving me the afternoon off and I found twelve steakbakes in my bag. |

OMG, have you seen the drawings in the new one?! There are lots of them and they are all awasome! |

*no spoilers* Well, at least now I can rest in peace I guess. Quite a fucking milestone in my time to finish this, and King's catalogue, for good. Sad cunt may I be (say thankya) but I was moved and thrilled n all that crap. I can heartily say that it was worth the trek, and I hope future generations get as much out of it as I did. I also recommend plenty of outside when reading the last volume, I finished it on the beach and it was perfect. And aye pant, great pics. I think the last bunch were "cooler" but these fitted in damn well with the series as a whole. The review on Ain't It Cool News perfectly sums up how I felt about the book and series as a whole, although I don't recommend looking anywhere near it till after book 7's done. Dang, this whole event has fucked me up, I think I need a night out :D |
||||||||

|

well i've had to order it from amazon as the staff at Asda were fucking hopeless, they didn't know why there weren't any copies at the store!! When i get it i'm going to have to make myself take my time, I feel it will ruin it if I race through it. how many people here have finnished it? You pleased with the ending? No spoilers please. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
part 7 is out yet? i finished 6 this morning oh god i cant wait till i get my hands on the last thing. this will prolly be the last time i post here before ive read it all, to hide from spoilers IM SO THRILLED |

I nearly bought this today but decided to get The Stand instead. Been meaning to read that for longer. I'll get the whole lot in the very near future :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just finnished it, what an ending! I don't know what to say... anyone else finnished it, what did you think of the end? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm Half way through it I am deliberatly reading it slowly. I will read this entire tread when I am done!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I have just finnished it... The ending is superb. I'm going to read it from the begining again, it's that good..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I couldent speak for a little while, and I cried about 3/4 times throughout the book twas awsome |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
its crazy isn't it! *spoilers!!!* i mean, what did he actually do to deserve that? Is it because he let the boy drop, or is it because he continued to the Dark Tower despite not needing to after healing the beams? *end of spoilers* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love to discuss it with you but I would be so pissed off if before I had finished it someone given anything away. But we will palavar, soon.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
absofuckinglotuley agree. Man, it's so weird to thing how long I've been reading these books. Thinking about where I was in my life when I started them and where I am now. Two completely different places. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
******BIIIIIG SPOILER!!!!******* A theory I have been told is that this is the 19th time that he has climbed the tower. When he's back at the begning of the chase again, THIS time he has the horne which he had previously lost, and at the end of the poem, roland blows his horne at the top of the tower, so when he does it this time he'll win.... sort of thing know what I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So he's back. I, for one, am happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

What do you mean? |

Yavo recommended these books to me over a year ago - I read The Gunslinger quite a while ago and enjoyed it - my girlfriend had the first four bought as a box set for Christmas, and I've read parts two and three and am just about to start Wizard and Glass. Enjoying it a lot so much. thanks, yavo. |

The Drawing of the Three is my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Great to hear Paul! Wizard And Glass is probably my favourite. I'm re-reading the series now (again), halfway through seven. I never get bored of em. 010101: I forgot to answer your question, but there is a Marvel adaptation of the series coming in 2007. The artwork I've seen looks top, have a scout around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Probably my all-time favorite series of books. Ending was disapointing and pleasing in many ways. Fitting at least, but I won't spoil it since everyone here can obviously read. And if you can't read it wouldn't matter anyway. I waited until the seventh book was out and went on a week long binge reading the 5, 6 & 7. Somehow I managed to read all 2000+ pages in less than a week. I've been very surprised with how many great books Stephen King has written. I recommend anyone who hasn't read From A Buick 8 or Bag of Bones to do so, and of course all of the Dark Tower books. :) |

the dark tower sucks carrie is his good book other king is super-gay. |
||||||||

The best illustratior was Dave McKeen. I hope he will have a hand in the comic book adaptation, although I don't know if he has done any Marvel stuff or if he has an exclusive contract with DC/Vertigo. Neil Gaiman did 1602 for them so there is hope at least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should give The Stand a go. I think it is better than Carrie |

DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN #1 (of 7) COVER BY: JAE LEE WRITER: ROBIN FURTH PETER DAVID PENCILS: JAE LEE COLORED BY: RICHARD ISANOVE LETTERED BY: CHRIS ELIOPOULOS THE STORY: “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King’s Roland—an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland’s past is revealed! Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by long-time Stephen King expert Robin Furth (author of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower: A Concordance) and scripted by New York Times Best-seller Peter David, this series delves deep into Roland’s origins—the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world, while long-time fans will thrill to adventures merely hinted at in the novels. Be there for the very beginning of a modern classic of fantasy literature! 48 PGS./CARDSTOCK COVER/Parental Advisory …$3.99 PRICE: 3.99 IN STORES: 2007-02-07 |

yeah I'm dubious about the Dark Tower comics... I got such a clear picture in my head of the entire story, I really don't want some comic book fucking with that. I'll probably still check it out though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only just read the first comic yesterday. It's pretty sweet I thought, bit lacking of background detail in some of the pictures but it's interesting to see it as a trial run for a movie - which, since JJ Abrams bought the rights to for $19(!) recently - is closer than ever to happening. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did anyone see The Mist? Am I the only one to think that this is when Rolands world 'moved on'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't see the mist but when i saw the trailer the first thing i thought of was thinny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everyone should read it and insomnia. they tie into the DT and more so each other. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watch the movie. I have heard mixed reviews of it, but all those I have spoken to who have read the Dark Tower have really liked it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Had to find a thread on this, I'm gutted Abrams is making the film, he's too clean cut to make it imo, Rodriguez is the only logical option. I'm even more gutted that I have a tattoo on my foot which I fear will become as common as the Lord of the Rings tattoo's =o( Why god WHY?!?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tattoo of what on your foot? I wouldn't worry you can wear socks, I on the other hand lost some fingers just like Roland, don't get lobstrosities as pets. |
||||||||

I recently started reading the firts book, and I'm just about finishing "Slow Muntants" part of the book and so far I like i immensly. I read the first comic this summer and thought i had ruined the book for me but i didn't know at the time i satrted reading the book that the comic was based upon Rolands flashbacks... I have the second comic which i'm going to read after i finish the book. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I've to the "unfound" symbol across the side of my foot by my heel, looks really good there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone read Eye of the Dragon? Supposed to link to the Dark Tower... and it seems to be the only Fantasy novel he has wrote? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I've read Eye(s) Of The Dragon. Decent story... barely connects to the tower though. More important connections: Hearts In Atlantis Insomnia Salem's Lot The Stand Everything's Eventual (short stories) The Talisman and Black House supposedly also connect but I haven't read those yet. |
