A quick question

[thebitterguy]

Last night, while visiting the MPL on my way home to drop off a couple books, I returned a couple books and picked up The Long Halloween (it just seemed so appropriate).

On my way out, I saw that the first four Dark Tower books were available in the "we had these donated but already had copies" pile for fifty cents each. So, since I had a toonie in my pocket, I figured I'd go for it.

So: Did I make a horrible mistake?

Had you never read them before? Oh man, the first one is so good. Unfortunately, they only seem to go downhill from there. I just recently bought the fifth one, so I'll eventually give it a read.

Hell no. They're uneven, but the series as a whole is goddamn terrific.

I have started the 5th book, and I must agree that the series is good, but has highs and lows in terms of individual books. Book 4 is by far my favorite.

You're alright, but don't venture past Book 4.

Long Halloween, incidentally, gets my vote for most inexplicably overrated Batbook ever.

...after Dark Knight Returns.
