Dark Tower series by Stephen King

If you haven't read this series and you love Stephen King then you are missing out on one hell of a story. King always seems to amaze me with his writing but this series takes the cake. He has somehow managed to tie all these amazing stories together like From a Buick 8, Salems lot, and even himself into this series (and thats just a few). It is so amazing to me!!! Not to mention that the characters in these books become a part of you in a way that is unexplainable. You literally find yourself thinking like Roland and at times even speaking like some of the characters. My world, my literal one, became a part of this story. I would look at things differently seeing Roland's worlds in my own. This was the most amazing reading journey I have EVER been on. No other writer has taken me on a more realistic journey and I crave more. Even if you don't like King because of his "scary" and sometimes gross stories, you HAVE to read this series, it is NOTHING like that. I just can't rave enough about these books and if you have read them, feel free to add your own thoughts on the series in the comments, I would love to hear what you thought of these books. And if any family is reading this, I want the series in full so I can read them again for like the 10th time, I am that hooked and will NEVER get tired of reading it. If you are interested the books are, in this order.... #1 The Gunslinger,#2 The Drawing of Three,#3 The Waste Lands,#4 Wizard and Glass,#5 Wolves of the Calla,#6 Songs of Susannah, and #7 The Dark Tower. Thanks for reading!!! And as of right now I am reading Aaron Pattersons Sweeet Dreams and it is so good, so keep your eyes peeled for my blog about that one, or grab your own copy and be ready to share your thoughts with me. Plus Aaron follows this blog and I know he would like to know what you think as well. Have a great day and put your nose in a book......
