That's pretty funny!

I finished The Dark Tower, and have started on "The Road To The Dark Tower."

I was immediately reminded of "The Neverending Story" as soon as you-know-who showed up in the series,and that was reinforced by the end of the book. All that time, all that work and for what?

It's the first time I've ever been really disappointed in something he's written. *sigh* But it was a good, long read, I have to say that.

(Maybe I'm up too early...?)

It's weird.

I caculated how long The Dark Tower was about a week ago, and it comes out to approximately 4,050 pages, or something around there.

In other words, hovering somwhere around Proustian territory, and I still have no clue what the exact purpose of Jamie DeCurry was.

Go figure.

^__^

Anyway, I suppose that's why I need to read some of the suplementary material.

I personally liked the series, even though some books-Wizard and Glass-were much better than others-The Wolves of the Calla.

Overall, I was satisfied with the (final) conclusion.

I can't say that I was "happy" with it-really, who could be happy with that ending-but satisfied sums up how I feel.
