By far the best books I have ever read.

Was a little overwhelmed by the volume of pages when you put all of the books together but please don't be put off.

The storyline is very consistent, characters very beliveable, yet each book throws us deeper and deeper into the quest of the dark tower with a different approach which is powerfully gripping.

Many people will be able to associate with one or more of the characters in various ways and this, i feel, is what keeps the story so addictive. I have read this series at least a dozen times and I am able to find something new every time I do.

How to explain the plots of seven books that span thousands of pages? I’ve tried explaining the books to my friends but like anything that has blown you away, you can't really convey it's brilliance. There is no way to just tell someone about the Dark Tower; the plot is too big, too grand, to sum it up in a few words.

A lot of Kings earlier works are starting blocks for The Dark Tower, with some characters appearing in earlier works (such as Insomnia, The Eyes of the Dragon and The Stand) which goes to show how long this masterpeice has been on Stephen Kings mind! This also makes you feel a certain kind of closeness to this series, as if this is the authour had been planning all along. As is Kings way, it is a very magical feeling!

Even if you haven't read Stephen King before I urge you to get down to the local bookstore or library. This is one peice of work I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on having the joy to read.

(After shopping around I have found that one of the cheapest sites to purchase all of the collection is Amazon, where you are able to buy them all at a cost of around £87. This may sound expensive but each book varies in thickness and all together there are 4039 pages! Of course this is just a suggestion!)
