Welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising?

The Dark Tower.

The failure that is this book is not matched by any of his other works. Sure, most of them are complete garbage, but the problem in this one is how long people invested themselves into the series. After all that time, they were given a book that was just awful, in every way possible.

Insomnia is awesome. The answer to the question posed in this thread is always going to be Cell. Cell is absolutely horrible. If I read a Stephen King book or story that I don't think is that good, I can at least say "Hey, this is still better than Cell!"

To be fair, the first half of Cell is pretty good. It's only once we learn more about the horde that things go to poo poo.

I agree. His next book is supposedly going to be longer than The Stand...

If you didn't have a lump in your throat at the final Susan scene at the very least, you have no soul.

Oh well then. Maybe it was because I skipped a hundred pages of it because it was so drat slow.
