I’m at a lost what to say this evening, so I thought I’d do a book review. The book of choice is Stephen King’s The Dark Tower; the seventh and final book in the series.

The series is King’s most accomplished work to date. They make you realise just what a clever writer King really is. The world of Roland the Gunslinger and his ka-tet consisting of Eddie, Susannah, Jake and the adorable Oy comes to a stunning conclusion in this seventh instalment.

What struck me was how clever King writes. He incorporates himself as a character in the story, and I don’t mind admitting I shed a tear at events that unfolded towards the end. I won’t reveal what happened at the end, but it was fitting. I was tremendously satisfied when I finished this book.

All in all, although King tends to waffle at times, and you sometimes just wanna scream “get on with it, man!”, The Dark Tower series was definitely a series worth persevering with. It took King a long time to write the series, but it’s been worth it.
