Here I am in Volume 7 and I did not have to wait years between Volume 1 and 7. In fact, I had long since the first three and I have recently decided to venture me, being a fan more fantastic than fantasy. From the first volume, I attached to Pistolero, and Stephen King himself, because writing 8 volumes (the 8th was released in 2012 against all odds) accompanied her all her life as a writer. During playback of the first tomes, I always had trouble putting me, sometimes I even find it difficult to understand and follow, but I returned each evening reading, called the Ka-tet. Life with me said that what counts is not the destination but the journey, I believe that those who expect the finale or happy ending may be disappointed. What I like in very large books and very long stories, the journey is to take a little adventure every day, my page recreation and pleasure to regain the ka-tet. I loved meeting the author in book 6 and share his daily just before his accident, and meet again soon after. I loved the characters and even recover point-in on stories that had seemed obscure (Hearts in Atlantis) and I loved it, of course, find some characters of Salem! It is a shame and selfish found in some comments late last volume of this saga. I had a very bad idea to browse the reviews and I got to the end, it's not nice. But it is so consistent with the idea of the way that I am very satisfied.
