Title: A Trilogy Type Series Based On A Poem
Review: Not being one who normally reads fantasy, I was surprised when I picked this book up. This was definately a new road with Mr. King. I was further surprised to discover that it was based on the poem Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning.If you are looking for fast paced Stephen King horror; this isn't it. You won't be disappointed though.At times it seemed a little hard to keep up with who was who and where they were from. This book encompasses everything you can imagine. There's Roland (a knight like figure), Jake Chambers a young boy (becomes a protege to Roland), and there are Susannah and Eddie. All chosen to travel to the Dark Tower and save the world from evil.Being one who rarely if never reads fantasy, I can only compare this book/series with J.R.R. Tolken's Lord of the Rings Trilogy.If you like Stephen King, or if you like fantasy this is a must read.
