Hey /lit/ Got this for Christmas, is it good or should I exchange it for something else?

>> No.2278203

if you like fantasy you'll probably enjoy it
no reason not to try in any case

>> No.2278210

Upon reading the first page, king states that it is somehow a fantasy like lord of the rings. I think I would enjoy this.

>> No.2278244

Dark Tower series is good stuff OP. Definitely worth the read.

The first book, at least, is horrifically bad. But most people seem to love it, so it's worth a try I guess.

The first book is good. The second book is annoying. The third book is good. The fourth book is okay. The fifth book is ludicrous. The sixth book is awful. The seventh book is a joke and makes the entire series obsolete.

Read the first four at most

>> No.2278861

It's a shame King said he would never write anymore Dark Tower books after the first four.

Disagree. Love the second book. The first half of the third is excellent. The fourth is oh so forgettable and irritating.

>> No.2278869

>>2278846
But it is. It's the worst King book I've read. I'm amazed it got published given how poorly written and plotted it is.

>> No.2278896

Exchange it. Books are average and King had no idea how to end this series. The ending is one big FUCK YOU to the readers. He knew it and even tries to explain himself (I don't know of any other book where that happens).

Way to spoil the ending for me you fucking cocksucker. Goddamn it I hate you so much. I just wish someone cut your balls off and made you eat them because that's what you are; a dirty, homo, horrendous ball sucker. Go eat a bag of dicks you fucking tremendous faggot.
