The Dark Tower

Although the rest of /lit/ would probably burn me, they are some of my favorite books, though I will concede that they got WAY too meta at the end

Yeah, while I have generally positive things to say about The Dark Tower, the meta bits after the first one in Song of Susannah had me raising an eyebrow every now and again.

ahahahaahahahHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

I love the series but I hated a few things
>Wolves of the Calla
>"Roland looks just like me! And now I'm in the book!"
>writing varies from King's best to just fucking shit.

However, I stand by it being a good series overall and I actually thought the ending redeemed it for me a bit. I just wish he had actually put the effort into each book that they deserved and scrapped some of the shitty ideas. Had he had a better long-term plan and a trustworthy and harsh editor dedicated to the series I think it would be more well-respected.

>>9609878
Probably, yeah.

>"Roland looks just like me! And now I'm in the book!"

Yeah, it was pretty indulgent.

are you saying the meta parts were good or that the meta parts spoil the whole pot.

>>9609828
Didn't get past the first few pages. Seemed like SKs attempt a making some LOTR fantasy wank, and failing.

i'm unable to enjoy anything that makes me think "i bet this is the kind of book plebbit likes"

Honestly, I feel sorry for people like this.

>being a plebbit reactionary

You sound like a really sad individual. Intentionally holding a contrarian stance to things that you think psueds like makes you worse and generally more pathetic than them.

Something can be flawed, adored by idiots for the wrong reasons, and yet still be worthwhile and redeemable.

I've enjoyed several other books by SK though how about that. Talk about biased assumptions, feel sorry for your own ass
