Title: All Cult Classics Are Not Equal
Review: Hmmmm. I got talked into starting The Dark Tower by several friends who (a) know I have read most of Stephen King's work and (b) have taste that I largely agree with. So I've now made it through the first (short) book that makes up the seven-book series. I had started it many, many years ago and quickly abandoned it, finding it not up to his other works and just not interesting enough to make up for that. Having now finished it, I can say I think both of those facts remain true for me. It's too purposefully mystical and I think largely kind of silly (though not fun-silly). However. I'll continue with the series. I'll read the next book (which I've been told is infinitely better) and eventually probably read all seven. Because I'm that reader who, once he starts, finishes. Unless they start to feel like the kind of head-spinning fun-less work that this one was. At that point, I may abandon my quest. But for now, I'll give the impossible dream a shot.
Is the review positive or negative?
