BookwormAHN This is the book that made me really start to like the Dark Tower series. 4y
TheNeverendingTBR My favourite of the series 4y
Karkar I just love that we get Oy in this one. 4y
DGRachel @BookwormAHN Isn‘t it funny how we can react differently to books? This is the one where I stumbled and quit the series. Mind you, this was 20+ years ago, but I haven‘t tried again. 😳 4y
Fortifiedbybooks Has anyone read the tagged book? I don't think King wrote it, but it's based on Wastelands. 4y
DGRachel @Fortifiedbybooks I‘ve never heard of it, but that cover is CREEPY!😱 4y
BookwormAHN @Fortifiedbybooks @DGRachel He wrote it and it starts playing in quite heavily to this series. 4y
Fortifiedbybooks @BookwormAHN that's good to know. I have a copy of it at home and I plan on reading it in October 4y
JulAnna @DGRachel I think it is funny—how preferences vary— this is probably my least favorite of the Dark Tower books, with the exception that is does introduce Oy. So worth it to continue on, though -my favorites of the series are still to come! 🤓 4y

Oh #losersclub, I am sorry. I completely forgot about this! Discussion for the tagged book starts NOW! there was an #epickatet read last year, so even if you didn‘t read it this month, please feel free to join in. Open discussion is in the FOLLOWING POST marked as a SPOILER. Find the post for #TDOTT & tap "show me" on the spoiler tag to join in the discussion. The post will always be up so just tag any of us & we‘ll jump in to discuss with you.

Soubhiville @DGRachel you can pull me from the tag list if you want to. I am unlikely to read much King at this point. Thanks for keeping this going though! 5y
DGRachel @Soubhiville I can take you off the list if that‘s what you want. I don‘t want to spam your feed. But if you want to stay on, I copy/paste the list, so it doesn‘t take me any longer to tag you than it would to skip you. 😘 I won‘t be offended either way, but let me know if removing you is what you really want. 5y

I ended up loving this series. I admit the first two books I didn't like very much. I loved the third. The seventh was a good ending to the Tower series. There were quite a few deaths, two of which about did me in. More about those in the comments ⬇️☠⬇️ #epickatet #epickatetread

BookwormAHN Okay so Jake's and Oy's death about killed me, especially Oy's. Could King have made his more horrible. Poor little guy 😿 6y
KathyWheeler When I first read it, I was so mad with how it ended, but I‘ve since come to see that the non-ending makes sense and could even have been predicted given the whole “ka is a wheel” thing. Then, also, this time around, it looks like Roland‘s story might end differently as he has the Horn of Eld for the first time. 6y
Karkar I did not like the first two books either the first time. However once I went back and started them the second time they were so much better as you pick up little bits that you miss the first time. 6y

BookwormAHN @KathyWheeler I wonder if he had paid more attention to the different rooms in the tower that he could have found other things to help his chances of ending it. Although in the first book when he is having his palaver with Walter, he does tell him that they have had this conversation before. So the ending was entirely shocking. 6y
BookwormAHN @Karkar I plan to eventually do that. I'm sure I've missed s few things. 6y
KathyWheeler @BookwormAHN He probably could have, but he was so focused on the one goal that he didn‘t pay attention. Oh, if you read them again, the audiobooks are a good way to do it, if you lime audio. (edited) 6y

Oh Susannah, I may have a chance to read your story and actually keep apace with the #EpicKaTet schedule.
