Taking me so long to get through this book (I got it on release day).
I'm a huge King fan (own over 27 of his books in hardcover).
I've read every one last year in order (for the first time actually; first time ever reading the books at all).
These last few have been really trying my patience.

I just ... can't get through it. It's finnnnally picked up to 'interesting' for me 400 pages (about half way) in.

I regard the last three books much like I regard the final Matrix movie - good, but could have been, should have been, so much better. There was hardly anything that blew me away. The closest was Roland approaching the tower, shouting out the names of his fallen comrades .That scene alone almost redeemed the series.
Now that I've had a few months for it to sink in, I'm still disappointed. First, at the poor way the villains were handled. Second, at the way all of the supposed connected stories were ignored. One of the things that made me damp about the series was that it wasn't just 7 epics novels, it was like 25 interwoven epic novels. Of course, by the end, it was back to being just 7 novels (maybe 10 if you count Salem's Lot, EE, and Hearts in Atlantis) and the last three were kind of half-assed. Insomnia? A mind-trick. The Stand and Eyes of the Dragon? Introduces a character that gets offed by a newborn. From a Buick 8? Who the fuck knows.
Ugh. I've read and reread these stories so many times it feels weird to lose interest in them so completely. PS I started reading them in 1987.-
i wasn't expecting that ending at all. i was reading the very end after king warns you to stop reading if you want a happy ending i thought it was going to turn into some kind of reincarnation thing. the way it ended was so very sad but at the same time it goes back to ka being a wheel so it makes perfect sense. now he has hope that this time around it will be better
i'm sure that i am going to re-read all 7 books again after i give a re-reading to some of his other books.
