Editorial Review:

Product Description:
All good things must come to an end, Constant Listener, and not even Stephen King can write a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best.

Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room -- really a chamber of horrors -- in Thunderclap's Fedic Station; Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and 61st with weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine, in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only one that matters.

Thus the audiobook opens, like a door to the uttermost reaches of Stephen King's imagination. You've come this far. Come a little farther. Come all the way. The sound you hear may be the slamming of the door behind you. Welcome to The Dark Tower.

Amazon.com Review:
At one point in this final book of the Dark Tower series, the character Stephen King (added to the plot in Song of Susannah) looks back at the preceding pages and says "when this last book is published, the readers are going to be just wild." And he's not kidding.

After a journey through seven books and over 20 years, King's Constant Readers finally have the conclusion they've been both eagerly awaiting and silently dreading. The tension in the Dark Tower series has built steadily from the beginning and, like in the best of King's novels, explodes into a violent, heart-tugging climax as Roland and his ka-tet finally near their goal. The body count in The Dark Tower is high. The gunslingers come out shooting and face a host of enemies, including low men, mutants, vampires, Roland's hideous quasi-offspring Mordred, and the fearsome Crimson King himself. King pushes the gross-out factor at times--Roland's lesson on tanning (no, not sun tanning) is brutal--but the magic of the series remains strong and readers will feel the pull of the Tower as strongly as ever as the story draws to a close. During this sentimental journey, King ties up loose ends left hanging from the 15 non-series novels and stories that are deeply entwined in the fabric of Mid-World through characters like Randall Flagg (The Stand and others) or Father Callahan ('Salem's Lot). When it finally arrives, the long awaited conclusion will leave King's myriad fans satisfied but wishing there were still more to come.

In King's memoir On Writing, he tells of an old woman who wrote him after reading the early books in the Dark Tower series. She was dying, she said, and didn't expect to see the end of Roland's quest. Could King tell her? Does he reach the Tower? Does he save it? Sadly, King said he did not know himself, that the story was creating itself as it went along. Wherever that woman is now (the clearing at the end of the path, perhaps?), let's hope she has a copy of The Dark Tower. Surely she would agree it's been worth the wait. --Benjamin Reese

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What's wrong with a good ending?
I've heard a lot of bad things about the ending of this book, and am completely confused by them. Granted, the ending might not appeal to some, but to those who can appricate the fact that the story is about the journey to one's 'dark tower' and not the tower itself, it is a wonderful read. I found the series to be quite fascinating and wonderful to read. To be taken to a world that was so complex and so well made was a wonderful experience.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - perfect
I LOVED each and every one of the books in this series. I am a firm believer that they are King's best work. I just want to say that I think that the ending to the Dark Tower series was perfect. Have King's stories ever ended happily? I can't recall at the moment one that did. I think we all enjoy his books because King weaves some of the sickest most disterbing stories around. He loves to toy with his readers' emotions. How can anyone expect this story to end any differently? If you were reading ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Dark Towering Masterpiece from "The Dark Master"
I'll admit I am the Constant Reader that Stephen always references..I have been a loyal fan for more years than I care to admit. Starting with Salems Lot and ending with Duma Key. I never picked this series up. I didn't want to be strung along by a serial novel.

When the final book came out I picked up the first one. I thought I would read one a month. I was wrong...I couldn't read fast enough. I finished all seven in under 2 months. I was hooked..I laughed, I cried and I shivered ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Scary letdown...
The true horror was seeing such an amazing series get axe murdered in the last 2 books. My suspicion is SK was plugged into a vision so extraordinary that the Crimson King had to run him over with a van in 1999 to prevent the true story from being written. Too bad for us...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
The book was in amazing shape: It was hard, huge, filled with fullpage drawings, and heavy. Holding that in your hand is almost the same as holding a gun. Powerfull feeling. As for the book itself, anyone who's read DT so far knows the last story is just another amazing book in the saga, so this is a Win-win book for me. Very Satisfied.
