Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
S.J. Romero asked this question about The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, #1):
I haven't read this book, but have wanted to for some time. My hesitation is that some of King's works can start great, but end a bit flat. IT and The Stand are two examples. Both started great and powered along for about 95% of the story, only to run out of steam in the end. Not sure I want to spend the time on DT if it ends in such a way. Any encouraging words to ease my concerns? Thanks in advance.
T.ScottReviews It is phenomenal, The Stand was a major letdown.

I haven't read DT but I always hear from people that the series picks up after book 2. …moreIt is phenomenal, The Stand was a major letdown.
