I've read quite a bit of Stephen King, mostly in my younger days of highschool, many years ago. I have never picked up this series, and the amount of people raving about it these days, I think that I might have to reconsider and go for it. It'll be the next series after Erikson's. Cheers.

How have you liked it? I have completed it (last week) and found it to be a great set up for the last book.

That's an odd response....
Kind of damning with faint praise, no?
So far I'm enjoying it but I'm only about 140 pages in. The castle on the verge of Discordia is very cool.
P.S. For those of you who read King regularly can it not be said that he has truly fallen in love with the device he calls the "mental construct"? Read Dreamcatcher and you'll see he employs the same technique to depicts one of the main characters mind and memory. It's imaginative but almost seems like a cop-out when overused.

I didn't mean for my comment to be one of faint praise. I really like this book, both in terms of character devleopment and question answered, generated, and yet to be answered. What of the kid in Insomnia? What of Jack Sawyer? Just who is Cullum going to see/get? What is the death that comes between Roland & Eddie?
I hated Dreamcatcher with a passion. Terrible book...even worse flick. I think maybe king was trying to figure out how to use the "mental construct" there to use it better in SoS.
