minus-squaretacosanonymous@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoI honestly despise King’s longer novels. The Dark Tower series is the epitome of his inability to stay focused and well paced. It’s like he set a goal of some ridiculous book length, thought he needed a bunch of padding to get there, hit the mark and abruptly ends it. Give me Salem’s Lot, Carrie, Pet Semetary, etc all day but I can’t with Dark Tower.
