Now with a stunning new cover look comes THE DARK TOWER, the seventh captivating volume in King’s epic fantasy series THE DARK TOWER.
The final book in King’s epic The Dark Tower series, sees gunslinger Roland on a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating triumph and aching loss in his unrelenting quest to reach the dark tower.
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.
And as he closes in on the Tower, Roland’s every step is shadowed by a terrible and sinister creation. Finally, he realises, he may have to walk the last dark strait alone…

buono
Libro in lingua inglese preso come regalo per mia figlia per imparare meglio l’inglese e il regalo è stato gradito molto. Il libro è la versione integrale ed è molto bello, l’unica pecca è che le pagine sono leggermente sottili, ma va bene comunque. Le scritte sono grandi e quindi non si affatica la vista e il rapporto qualità /prezzo è davvero ottimo.

This is an incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt book. Reading at times feels like overhearing a session with a psychologist. King uses the story to explore humanity, his own failings, mortality (including his own), and redemption…not just from one’s actions, but the redemption of the soul. Can someone truly learn to live, love and care again when they had hardened themselves against these things? Can you forgive, and accept the harm someone caused you? Can you live for something greater without making it about yourself…and not losing yourself in the chase or corrupting the purpose and making it about yourself?King explores these heady concepts in a fantastical multiverse full of symbolism, magic, and the mundane. The plot is brisk, with compelling characters, and witty observations. Nobody is spared King’s withering glare, not his characters, not real people…and least of which himself.I found myself fascinated and lost in the novel like I haven’t in years. The book often left me asking questions hours after I had put it down, and left me eager for more…I don’t think I’ve lost this much sleep trying to get through a novel in years.I was aware that the ending was controversial, and maybe that’s why I actually liked it. My expectations were low, and I came out thinking that it was fitting. In a way it fit perfectly, like the final piece of a puzzle completing the picture.If you’re a fan of the series, don’t miss this one.

I can’t imagine what reading this book was like for people in 2003 who had been reading the series since The Gunslinger was originally published. The characterisations have remained astonishingly consistent across the many years the stories have been written, and in this book, all bets are off: it’s a brutal tale and we don’t know who will or won’t survive. It feels like several books are packed into this one volume. It’s extremely dense and action-packed and, like any good ending, deliberately leaves a few loose ends dangling.I felt weary and very sad when the book came to an end. I’ve been on a long journey with all these characters. Alongside the eight Dark Tower books, I’ve read something like 20 other Stephen King books this year, including ‘bricks’ like It and The Stand, so I can comprehend the many references in the books. Finishing The Dark Tower feels like an ending and a beginning: I have many more Stephen King books to read, but this series is like King’s Everest. I can only ever climb a K2 now!As for the reason I gave this a four star rating rather than five… I bought the whole series in one big collection in paperback. So imagine my surprise when I opened the final book in the series only to find the typeface is minuscule compared with all the other books in the series. The book runs to 686 pages set in approximately 7-point Centaur MT typeface, which is immensely uncomfortable at such a size. It’s ridiculous: there’s a lot of italic writing in this book too, which is practically unreadable. By comparison, Wizard and Glass, with a bigger typeface, runs to 845 pages, so there’s no excuse for this.I work with computers all day and, worse, I suffer from migraines, so tiny typefaces aren’t my favourite thing! Having raced through the other books, I took five days to get 230 pages into this book. I then got a migraine! So I caved in and bought the Kindle edition for six quid. I read the rest of the book in two days. I read the Kindle edition alongside the paperback so I could still look at the lovely illustrations. There were also a couple of glitches in the Kindle version that I cross-checked in the paperback. So it was a frustrating end to the act of reading the series, frankly.Ultimately, I feel like Stephen King was keen to get the series finished in 2003, following his near-fatal accident and perhaps rushed one or two elements. We’ve since had the lovely interquel The Wind Through the Keyhole. I also have a feeling we haven’t heard the last from the characters in the series and there are more adventures for Roland and his gang out there.I can’t recommend the series highly enough. Like Asimov’s Greater Robot/Empire/Foundation Saga, there’s a lot of additional reading needed to appreciate everything. You can find recommendations online of ancillary reading and I strongly suggest checking them out. Now I’m going to start reading The Expanse series.
