Stephen King happens to be my favorite author of fiction.
I am eagerly awaiting the final novel in the series. All
I can say is that there are many matters to resolve in
fewer than 1000 pages. It will be a challenge, but I have
faith that he will do it well, even though Song of Susannah
was lame.

I am kind of anxious to see what happens to jake and callahan in the dixie pig trying to rescue susannah-mio. it was also a bit of a trip to discover that roland was the father of her baby a bit of a stretch. why less than a thousand pages has it been set or announced. I do know that book 7 domes out september 21, 2004

The story is complex enough as it is. I don't want to confuse
myself by trying to invent the ending before it is revealed.

I'm not a huge fan of Stephen King in general, but I absolutely LOVE the Dark Tower series. It's an amazing and complex story.

I am both looking forward to, and at the same time, dreading the final book.

The very first dark tower book was good, Then they descended into lengthy boring waffle, as did all the rest of his output.

Wow, gosh, but I can't agree with you. My favorite so far is "Drawing of the Three" followed by "The Gunslinger".

Also, I loved "The Stand" (both versions). Otherwise, though, I'm really not a fan.

How can you like the dark tower and not like the rest of his books as they are all inter related.

I wondered who the jokers were that read King's stuff. Now I know who some of you are. I saw some of his stuff made into movies. I was bored and gave up on thoses movies. Maybe I did not give them a real chance.

I don't know which you saw, but these are not boring by any means.
