The Dark Tower by Michael Whelan, Stephen King (2004, Hardcover)

For all Stephen King fans of the Dark Tower series, it's finally here! Something we've been looking forward to and yet dreading at the same time for so many years. Well worth the wait. King outdoes himself with this final chapter on his epic tale of the gunslinger and his ka-tet. The characters, as always, feel like people you actually know instead of someone you just read about. The story is always lively and engaging, and completely absorbing. And while the ending may not have been to everyone's liking (I've heard a few grumbles here and there but I'm not spoiling the plot) it's vintage King. The beauty of his stories are you can make what you want of them. This entire series is a must-read for anyone looking for something good to sink their teeth into. Bravo Mr. King, and thank you for years of enjoyment.
