Book Review: Hail to the King baby.
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi-
I was a little nervous when I saw this 780 page book and wondered if SK had fallen into a problem of overwriting he has been prone to in recent books. The book also seems to veer toward romance and I grew wary early on- but as the character development built and the cast was formed I realized that this book was the perfect bridge in the series. It truly covers an emotional spectrum with proper cringes and shocks. A necessary link to Roland's past to give us a deeper understanding of the Gunslinger and who and why and what and when (well... when is still a question) But anyway I was surprised that the bulk of the book takes place in Roland's past and our current ka-tet hasn't done much since the train ride. In a way I'm not sure if I'm happy where it has left off- but my faith in Stevie boy shot through the roof with this friggin book. Mayhap critics will turn their nose up at an epic of this enormity written by someone who is "salami" writer, but I feel the Dark Tower series is a modern masterpiece and most likely be remembered as one of the greatest stories told in the history of American literature. I was thinking about giving it a 9 because a 10 is just... well...whatever... but remembering how involved I was while reading it... the 10 is deserving.
Friggin Bra-friggin-vo!
