Did Stephen King just kill himself off?

.....

Okay I really need to read the last book.

Also while I know it's not to everyone's tastes. The Stephen King parts of this were some of my favourites. And I legit got chills when he was hypnotized and was like,"when I write It sees me" .....oh god It is It isn't it. DX

In a pretty intense and A+ series, this book is the weakest link. That is, of course, assuming that The Dark Tower itself isn't somehow weaker (which I doubt). It focuses on too much and explains very little in a way that is satisfying. Hopefully this is just a bridge building up to the epic ending of this massive work. I did like the King cameo though, which I know some people didn't like. It was humorous and interesting and I appreciated the way he wove it into the story.

I was a bit on the fence about the entrance of Mr. King into the story. You can see it coming from a mile away and it bordered (briefly) on self-indulgence, but he rescued it before it was too late. Another good installment!

Well, I shall be terse. It just didn't grab me at any point. Felt quit different from first five books, although I've yet to find the words to describe it adequately. But I must say that Susannah is not my favourite character, so perhaps I need say no more.

This book would have gotten a 5/5 if King had only given ''the writer'' another name!
