Has anyone read any of this series?

I am on book 2 and so far it is amazing. The 2nd book is one of the most engaging books i have ever read and i am only 100 pgs in.

You're in for a treat. I've read them all.

I read the whole thing start to finish, and it took me almost a year. I don't regret it- It was amazing

I haven't read any of the books or know what they're about, but here's a fun fact:

Hurt is quoted in The Dark Tower VII

woofta i'm excited.

i'm reading the fourth one at the moment and they are just brilliant, I can't wait to see how it all turns out and I will probably end up reading them all again. I love Stephen King but these books are so different from his other work and in my opinion are his best books

i've read the whole series. started when the first three were out. the waitting for the rest was almost unbearable.
the best story i've ever read.
im preparing myself for another round

His accident actually comes into play later in the series...

I just found out something yesterday that made me almost jizz my pants with excitement and happiness...

The Dark Tower saga is being filmed!

They're doing it in a completely new format that will either turn out to be stupidly genius, or a multi million dollar fiasco, and I'm really hoping that it works out. There's going to be three movies with at least one season of a television series between each release that keeps the story going. What's even better is the fact that Ron Howard is directing both the first film and TV series. I think it's safe to assume that Wizard and Glass is going to be a part of the TV series since 99% of the book takes place long before The Gunslinger starts

I really can't wait for this! I'm as giddy about it as a little schoolgirl on crack

I saw an article about it online yesterday. I'd share the link, but I can't find it anymore And it was really only two paragraphs long. And they were short paragraphs, at that

If this works it could be a really interesting game changer in media.
I didn't like the books to much, but I'd give the movie/tv show a shot. Those actors are going to be seriously incredibly busy people when they start..

Sounds interesting. Hope it will work out.

I didn't know there'd be a series too, sweetness!

Sounds interesting. Hope it will work out.

I wonder how they are going to fund it, I hope it doesn't lead to poor actors playing important roles.

I bought the first 4 books at my local used book sale, and I'm enjoying the first one so far. I'm only a hundred or so pages in...it has the makings of an epic story.

It is epic. especially the third book. blaine........ What would be awesome is if NIN did a soundtrack for the movies. If you like this Dark Tower, you'll love The Talisman. That book is tied in to the Dark Tower universe. So amazing.
