Title: The Counter Didn't Go Any Lower
Product review: I wonder from reading the comments of other readers whether we read the same book.This was an awful, awful tome. It was in dire need of a decent editor, who should have cut out AT LEAST half of the book. The disjointed plot is, of course, standard for the Dark Tower Series. The puerile prose must be read to be believed.I'm not kidding.Spare, expressive elegance is nowhere to be found. But Mr. King will be forgiven sins worse than this for producing such wonders as Shawshank Redemption, The Body, Christine and, most of all, the Shining. Mr. King can sell lots of anything now. People such as I, seeking echoes of earlier wonder, will buy. And buy. And buy.One would hope that he would have more pride.The only positive was that I bought this in the paperback UK edition, and did not have to pay the hardcover price.Stay away. Very, very far away.
