Ron answers “I have read the entire Dark Tower series...”

John Romanos asked this question about The Wind Through the Keyhole (The Dark Tower, #4.5):

I have read the entire Dark Tower series except for The Wind Through the Keyhole. I know it's a connection between books 4 and 5, and mostly a flashback of Roland's younger years, but I'd like to know if the people who have read it would recommend reading it between those books, or reading it after book 7. Which way flows better?

The real answer to your question is t…moreI've read 1-4, plus the Sisters of Eluria, and I just finished 4.5 thinking it would or should be next in order. The real answer to your question is that it doesn't matter when you read 4.5. I think it is best read after you have read 1-7, because it makes allusions to the dark tower that I felt I was missing, and reading it after 1-7 is true to when the book was written. But again, it doesn't really matter.(less)
