<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Not much time, so I'll have to run through this fast (and I'm missing tons of stuff):
First off, I didn't like many of the things he did with this:
- Cheapened classics like "Salem's Lot" by making the vampires there mere low level servants to a guy in a cage outside a tower throwing Harry Potter Sketches. From a "Salem's Lot" point of view, I'm going to pretend like the Dark Tower never happened. *sigh*
- Making the Crimson King just some crazy nutjob cheapened *him*
- Still not much justification for throwing the number 19 out there everywhere (and why does it only become significant in the last 2 books?)
- The Beam/Tower/Center of the universe thing was...well....I dunno. Kinda weak sci-fi for a sci-fi dork but others may differ
- Ka-tet spirtual bond break never really explained ("Oh today guys, we're not Ka-tet and I'm not your Dinh...but other than that, everything is pretty much the same, ok?"). Ok, he explained it, but I was definitely not satisfied with it.
- The Harry Potter Skeetches. Why the fuck?
- Anyway, gotta go.
- And finally, the ending. So he goes back to the beginning,because Ka's is a wheel...but apparently Ka is a broken wheel that happens to only go back to the beginning of book one, rather back to the real beginning...but Ka doesn't mind changing the back story a little by giving the hero a horn (oh and why was this horn a big deal btw?)...and while we're at it, just why does ka care so much about Roland or the fact that he always does the same thing...*sigh*
Did I hate the book? No. But I was disappointed though. Gotta run.</div>
