About this product

Product Information

All good things must come to an end, Constant Reader, and not even Stephen King can make a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best.Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room -- really a chamber of horrors -- in Thunderclap's Fedic; Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and Sixty-first with weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine, in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only one that matters.Thus the book opens, like a door to the uttermost reaches of Stephen King's imagination. You've come this far. Come a little farther. Come all the way. The sound you hear may be the slamming of the door behind you. Welcome toThe Dark Tower.

Publisher's WeeklyA pilgrimage that began with one lone man's quest to save multiple worlds from chaos and destruction unfolds into a tale of epic proportions. While King saw some criticism for the slow pace of 1982's The Gunslinger, the book that launched this series, The Drawing of the Three (Book II, 1987), reeled in readers with its fantastical allure. And those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy ever since will find their loyalty toward the series' creator richly rewarded.The tangled web of the tower's multiple worlds has manifested itself in many of King's other works -- The Stand (1978), Insomnia (1994) and Hearts in Atlantis (1999), to name a few. As one character explains here, "From the spring of 1970, when he typed the line The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed...very few of the things Stephen King wrote were 'just stories.' He may not believe that; we do." King, in fact, intertwines his own life story deeper and deeper into the tale of Roland and his surrogate family of gunslingers, and, in this final installment, playfully and seductively suggests that it might not be the author who drives the story, but rather the fictional characters that control the author.This philosophical exploration of free will and destiny may surprise those who have viewed King as a prolific pop-fiction dispenser. But a closer look at the brilliant complexity of his Dark Tower world should explain why this bestselling author has finally been recognized for his contribution to the contemporary literary canon. With the conclusion of this tale, ostensibly the last published work of his career, King has certainly reached the top of his game. And as for who or what resides at the top of the tower...The many readers dying to know will have to start at the beginning and work their way up., Publisher's WeeklyA pilgrimage that began with one lone man's quest to save multiple worlds from chaos and destruction unfolds into a tale of epic proportions.

  • The Dark Tower

    I'm a major Stephen King fan. I've waited for 20 years to read the whole Dark Tower series. As usual, he zeros in on good and evil and gives a good ride. The Dark Tower 7 is the last of the series. I was curious how he was going to handle the resolution and I was pleased with the ending. I think he's spot on. I'm am now feeling empty as I was filled up by reading the 7 books. I got to meet all the characters and get involved in their lives. They became a part of my family. That's how good King writes for me. Our relationship is over but I will remember these 7 novels and the final ending of the series.

  • Great book!

    This Stephen King book is great - this is part of the Dark Tower/Gunslinger series and is just as good as the previous books in this series.

  • Goodbye Roland!

    For all Stephen King fans of the Dark Tower series, it's finally here! Something we've been looking forward to and yet dreading at the same time for so many years. Well worth the wait. King outdoes himself with this final chapter on his epic tale of the gunslinger and his ka-tet. The characters, as always, feel like people you actually know instead of someone you just read about. The story is always lively and engaging, and completely absorbing. And while the ending may not have been to everyone's liking (I've heard a few grumbles here and there but I'm not spoiling the plot) it's vintage King. The beauty of his stories are you can make what you want of them. This entire series is a must-read for anyone looking for something good to sink their teeth into. Bravo Mr. King, and thank you for ...
