Uncle Stevie is telling us a bedtime story! :)
I read this and loved it! But besides the relationship to The Dark Tower Series, I feel it is a simple fairy tale. Don't get me wrong, I feel its unique as far as King's other books goes and it was great, but nice and simple. :)
What a bummer! :(
Thats what I love about his books...there are so many connections and parallels....you are never "just" reading a book. You are entering his world! (Oh, jeez, I sound like a book jacket. lol)

Yeah, but there are many layers of the King Universe, this story does seem to parallel it somewhat. You can't help but think about it, ya know?
Yay! I can't wait!
Thats very cool! I guess they come out earlier in other countries.
So I'm really curious what Ryan bought???
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but now that I've finished it....and absolutely loved it....it fits so well into the Dark Tower saga...
SPOILERS.....
When Thomas leaves at the end to go after Flagg, it made me wonder if he...perhaps out of respect.... takes his father's name, Roland, when he goes out to pursue Flagg (the dark man). And thus starts The first book in the Dark Tower series.
Did anyone else get that? Or am I looking too much into it? It just totally made me wonder.
Paperback? It just came out in hardcover! ?????????
lol. That works! Also, just knowing where it is helps. Thanks for putting it up, Becky! :)
It took me awhile to find it, too. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. lol
I started this book yesterday. I had been wanting to read this for ages, and finally I'm into it. I am about a quarter into and and I can't put it down! I love the tone and how he's telling the story! It's like Uncle Stevie is telling us a bedtime story. Which is probably how he intended it to sound for his daughter. I love that Flagg is in it and Roland The Good. This totally reminds us of all the realms in King's Universe. And it seems that Flagg and Roland's paths cross in every realm.
Now why didn't I think of those! ;) lol
I think after the mini-series that there was a short lived tv series. I don't know, I didn't see it.
I had them on VHS,too. DVDs are great though, take up so much less room! lol. I didn't see the new one, though. Why do people insist on remaking everything?
I loved that mini-series! I was so excited to hear that the original mini-series was out on DVD! I got it for my birthday this year! Whoohoo! lol
