Oh Jesus 'iron before the forge'? He likes that phrase enough to use it more than once? I remember cringing so hard at the sex snippet at the start of Eyes of the Dragon. King writing about sex is always bad but especially when it's this fantasy worlde type stuff. I agree with Metonym about The Gunslinger. Except I didn't bother reading any further into the series after finishing it. If I still had a copy on hand it would be easy to come up with examples of why I thought it was poorly written, but otherwise it wasn't very memorable. Loved the idea, hated the execution.

I didn't realize Black House was the second book in a series when I read it and I completely loved it. When I found out about The Talisman I was excited, but I couldn't get into it at all. It felt like it had too much of the worst of King's habits while Black House seemed to have more of Straub's (helpful) influence. But then maybe I just liked Black House because I was young when I read it and not so critical.
