Re: The Dead Zone

Ah, the thing about King...you don't always get what you want with his endings. And they're rarely happy. But that's what I love...you get a 'real' ending, rather than something contrived.

And like I said before, I think The Gunslinger is a difficult book to get into. And it's another of his books that was written quite some time ago (I think it's taken over twenty years for the entire series to be written). Perhaps once you've read a few more of his books, you'll go back to the Dark Tower. I assure you, it's back to pure King style in the second book, The Drawing of the Three! And also, if you've read more of his work, you'll be able to feel proud when you pick up on the little allusions to his other books that can be found in The Dark Tower books. Oh, and some characters that you've meet previously in other books as well

And yay, another Constant Reader! I'm such a silly King fan that I'm actually happy when people say they love his work so.
