I read this book in Three days. Its not a hard read, but its a fun read. I'm not a super King fan. I think the STAND is a mighty fine book and the Dark Tower Series is certainly interesting.

I honestly didn't view this book in the same light as this writer.

A little late to the party--just finished the book--but I agree that this review is a bunch of hogwash. Any mention of abortion was in the previous book, and it was quickly shot down. Roland was the only one who suggested it, and nobody agreed to it. I'm hard core pro-life--no exceptions--but even I'm not sure where I stand on aborting a half-demon baby (which is not exactly what it is anyway).

I do admit that I cringe reading every page of current King. I keep expecting the Bush bashing to begin. So far, it hasn't.
