pfft whast life without gross and perverted???
God. bahahahaha
and you think thats warped? bwahahaha.
I made a story about a manetign piece of asparagus who had a fetish for fingernails. No joke.
I've finished the Dark Tower series. I really love how SK weaves the Tower into so many of his other books.
(Lobsters frighten me. . .)
I don't want to spoil anything for you but. . .
There's more travelling to other worlds, including a trip back to "our" world. Characters from other SK books keep showing up. Also, several characters will die. King is a great storyteller- he's an excellent writer as well as a good plotsmith.
Ah, lets see, you got to the Father Callahan part already, right? Well, obviously (if you've read Insomnia) Patrick needs to come back into the story. And SK himself is rather important (some people love this, others call it a cheap gimmick)
Death is a very subjective thing-- what is it Jake says? "There are other worlds than these"
Well, with the deaths, it was almost like he decided that, you know, life is pretty random and sometimes people just die for no reason. (Like in Cell, if you read that one, you know who I mean) There are 2 deaths in Dark Tower I can think of where it's like that.
Yeah, I agree. I haven't read Cell, but I know what you mean in DT. It's more with endings in some of his better works that they become so abrupt - like with the Stand. My opinion of the end of DT is that I don't like the decision he made, I wanted epic and got mundane. But that's obviously my opinion, and millions may have loved it. I bet he has other endings that he chose not to use lurking about his house.
Well, yeah. It's like he decided that no matter how he ended it, people would be disappointed, so he didn't really end it. (If it is the way he says it is, then what was the point of all those books?) Haven't read the new one yet. Bag of Bones is my most favorite recently- and even then, the ending doesn't answer one big question.
Or maybe the message is that real life doesn't have storystyle endings? Hmm. . .see, that's why I avoid real life whenever possible.
