I should point out that I didn't even read the last two. Wolves of the Calla left me cold and I didn't hear very encouraging things about the last two.

Christine was the first King book I ever read - finished it in a day and a half.

The shitters!

I finished my second read of the Dark Tower a few weeks ago and I still thought it was an incredible story and journey. I do understand how some readers were disappointed with the way the last two or three books went, but of course that's inevitable due to the high expectations we all have of him. I am excited and weary of the impending films - I know it won't compare but if they can follow as closely as possible, it could be incredible.
