"Of course you need to read them in order."

"It took this story three books to finally get my attention, which is something I find pretty hillarious. The story finally feels like it's 'going somewhere' and since the past two books and half of this is spent it's entirety on wasted lands and deserted landscapes I felt that it would have been fun to be walked throughout the city of Lud a bit more but looking at the amount of information condensed on this tome I guess there was not much we could do about it. <br/>The appearance of more people, secondary to the story as they were, was quite welcoming as well.<br/>Roland's party has apparently finished to be formed with the inclusion of two more individuals and we finally see that 'the bad guys' are starting to make a move, pretty enraged about the fact that Roland and the crew have made it *this* far in their journey. <br/>This is the largest book yet of this series I read but it's the one I had more ease to read because of the pacing. Big thumbs up.<br/>"
"<strong>Well just leave me hanging...Mr. King!!!</strong><br/><br/>Well I must say it took me a long time to finish this book (stupid adult responsibilities) just to be left hanging, literally.<br/>I am in love with this series and have so many unanswered questions. Mainly about how Roland's world and our world as we know it sometimes seem to overlap.. Or at times be more advanced<br/>As the bond between Roland, Eddie, and Susannah strengthen, its almost obvious that Jake's safety will constantly be an issue. I can't help but wonder which one of the travelling companions won't make it to the Tower. Or will there be additional allies picked up along the way.<br/>Can't wait to start the next book..... This should really be a series, but nah they'll just mess it up in order to gain more viewers...<br/>"
