thenakedmolerat833 Blaze01 thenakedmolerat833 Blaze01 I liked the ending. I just didnt liek how nothing was explained. and I still dont get how having a horn would change anything. I actaully wish that he hadn't had his horn when he went back. That way, now that I'm rereading the series, I could pretend that it is actually a continuation, rather than going back to the beginning. I hated how Sussanah found Edddie and Jake in the other New York. That was stupid. It seemed a little childish and dillusional. It like, makes their deaths worthless. It's like when a childs dog dies, so the mother goes out and buys them a new puppy to make them forget about the old one. Overall, I'd say that my least favorite aspect of the DT stories were when they said that there are infinite numbers of worlds that are so similar, you can't tell the difference. That's confusing and boring. woah, off-topic. As much as I would love to see how Roland's journey ends, I just don't think we ever will. honestly. I think King is really done with the Gunslinger this time. I don't think it really can end, just with Ka's wheel and all. Roland seems to be stuck in this loop that has no real end in sight. I liked the ending for the most part, because it really was the only way to end it. How childish would it have seemed if Roland got to the tower, and lived happy ever after. I would feel cheated. live happily ever after? Who said he would have to live at all after reaching the tower? I always thought he would get there and then maybe not die (death, but not for you, Gunslinger), but maybe be taken away . . . if you could understand what I mean by that. I'm not really sure how to explain it, myself. I get what your saying, but the ending you are kinda of discribing is what I would have ruled as a happy-ever-after one. What?? No . . . no, it wouldn't. What would classify as a happily ever after ending would be if like Sussanah went and lived with Eddie and Jake in an unruined world even though they died instead trying to deal with loss. Oh wait . . . . .

OK, here's my thought, what if, just what if, Roland keeps going around and around, but in our world time goes on? What if It isn't Jake, Eddie, Sussanah, and OY that go around with Roland every time? Oh, and the thing about him putting his pen down, that was about Roland, the Tower, and Mid-World. In his future novels, it will not be intertwined with the Dark Tower, unless you say that it has to because it isn't Keystone earth. But that is sorta strange to consider that. But I did, so, well, I know I'm strange.

I just finished VII last night. I was a little dazed, but I actually liked the ending. I actually find it appropriate that Roland be doomed to repeat his quest. We were prepared for it the whole book (Ka is a wheel...) with people returning to where they started and King saying that that was appropriate. Yes, I liked it a lot. As for enjoying the story between, that was good too. I quite enjoyed all of it except I thought Wizard and Glass was too long and although necessary it was a painful time-out from the present. I dunno, I just didn't get as much enjoyment from that one. The second one was my favorite, though, I think. The end of it, where Eddie almost got eaten by the lobstrocities, that was so great, so suspenseful.
