Thanks, Rhian, you've lured me into some really great reads, so I'll give it a try.

Maybe it was King's own introduction that put me off this book, but I never liked it... some readers love it though.

I never liked the book. Here's my overlong 3-star review, which basically tells the whole story.

I loved Heart-Shaped Box and so many readers did not. I absolutely loved NOS4A2. :)

Actually, I have carried a torch for a few King women, Susan Delgado, Susan Norton, for sure. Leigh Cabot, Mattie Devour, Bev Marsh, Frannie Goldsmith... even (I'm sorry but I have to admit it) Christine.

message 6119: by Wise Cat (new)

Wise Cat (wisecat) I'm not sure if I already posted but about halfway through City of Fallen Angels, #4 in the Mortal Instruments series.

I'm also enjoying Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding. Very humorous and fun.

And almost done with The Black Ice, the second Harry Bosch novel by Michael Connelly. I've read many but not all of the Bosch books, and not in order. But it's of my opinion they can be read as stand-alone books even though it's a series. :-)

Robert Kratky (bolorkay) | 54 comments I'm "about" to read Roger Zelazny's , "A Night In The Lonesome October" as soon as it arrives from the mid-west! I've heard many great reviews of this book.... I've had this one on my TBR shelf for years. (Better late than never.)

Nick Iuppa | 4272 comments I'm into the 7th dark tower book. I really wasn't going to read it again, but its been about 10 years, we were doing a group read for a while, and there it was. I started and I got hooked. Only about 150 pages in but it's amazing. The power of King's imagination is overwhelming.

I listened to the audio book while working or should say the hole trilogy it does get better. I liked it .

Hmmm it depends are you reading them in order of print or in order of placement. If it is how they were sent to print then you are on the Dark Tower itself. If it is placement then it is the song of Susannah. I'm not sure how Rage will fit in with either of those books. Unless you consider that a gunslinger approach to battle it controlled rage and fury honed into the sharpest skills and reactions anyone can have. What are your thoughts on the Artist Nick ?

Made it through the first 100 pages last night. Very entertaining, and enjoyable, looking forward to trying to unravel it all as I go along. Thanks for the recommendation.

So I read the whole series a few years ago and now I'm going through them again as part of a group read. Just finished Wizard and Glass, Wind, Wolves, Song, and now I'm into The dark tower. So far it's better than I remember. I'll be reading Roadwork as part of the October read, so I may sit Dark Tower aside for a bit. It's an experience that I really don't want to finish anytime soon anyway.
