I assume you read the Dark Tower series, but what about The Talisman and Black House?

jkwest · 04-01-2009, 04:17 PM

read The Shining.

You will enjoy the movie much more after knowning the whole story.

It was also a top-notch read.

If you read Desperation, you need to follow it up with The Regulators....it totally trips out your mind....I loved it.

A friend of mine read Desperation and I saw the made for TV movie. Good story, but listen close...READ THE DARK TOWER RIGHT NOW!!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I've read a lot of books and it is by far my favorite series. Ask Roland1919, he'll set you straight.

Yeah, Desperation and The Regulators are good companions, like The Talisman and Black House.

I think the Gunslinger born is a graphic novel. See if you can buy a set where they package all the paperbacks together, thats what I did. Be warned that The Gunslinger is a good enough book, but the story really starts rolling in book 2.

This will give you the first 4 books at a great price. http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Tower-Box...8605862&sr=8-1

No, you will not stuggle. It is just that when I think back I remember the story didn't kick me in the ass until book 2. There are 7.
