    mel, be expecting your new friendship bracelet via fedex soon. it's black, like me. (not really)

    Posted by Nebb[/QUOTE]

    I'm reading this for the first time right now.  I kind of took a long break from SK after DT7.  I won't lie...I was really pissed about the ending.  But that's what he does best...write terrible endings to otherwise epic and amazing stories.  I've come to terms with it now.  But, yea, I have catching up to do on the books that have come out in the past 7 years.  I'm in the end times of Under the Dome right now.  Todd already read it and told me to "expect the usual" so I know it's going to start sucking any second.  I've got my money on him using the old deux ex machina standby that he's so fond of...maybe he could bring back that whole "hand of god" bit from The Stand.

    P.S. Apparently I'm not over DT7...I sound really bitter still.  Maybe in another 7 years.

    I LOVED the ending of the dark tower, it was PERFECT (the 2nd one, i suppose?). I just loved it. I leant the books to my aunt recently and she absolutely hated it, she was so pissed off after.

    Lala im biased. I think this lovely man in my sig should play eddie.

    I kinda liked the end of the 7th book, only because this time he had that damn horn and you think maybe this is his last time to go through all this. although it did remind me a little bit of the second matrix movie, with the whole "you've been here before" thing that made my head hurt.

    oooh! I didn't think of Michael Pitts as eddie. that could work. the only thing I worry about is that eddie is funny, and I can't see MP cracking me up.

    Exactly. Each time he goes through (god knows how many times he has) he gains a bit more knowledge and a bit more humanity. He is earning his soul back or something.

    I just...really?  The loop theory?  I got the feeling that SK caught the Matrix and The Neverending Story on cable one day and was like "yea...I guess that'll do." 

    Things I hated:
    1) Eddie died like a bitch, raving mad. 
    2) Effing Susannah gets that close to the tower, and then throws the guns of eld in a damn garbage can so she can have some frigging hot chocolate?  I didn't like her as Detta/Odetta, I didn't like her as Susannah, SusannahMio, or any other variation.  She sucked, and got closer to the tower than she deserved.
    3) Dude.  Patrick Danville erased the Crimson King.  Seriously?  The Crimson King, who we've been waiting to meet FOREVER and all he does is throw sneetches and scream like a girl...and then he's ended with an eraser?  Cut me a small break.
    4) Flagg was kind of the the most badast villain that King ever wrote, and he died by being eaten by the JarJarBinx of the King universe. 

    I could go on, but I'm getting all worked up.  I just reread the series a few months ago and I really thought I had calmed over this stuff...I was wrong.  I'm raving mad about it still, it seems.

    My ideal ending...at the top of the tower is a door marked "The Girl." 

    Can you tell my heart is all for Wizard and Glass?  I really felt like he took the coward's way out, though, when it came to the ending.  He couldn't come up with how to end it, so he went with "choose your own adventure."  I've been reading those books since I was 12.  I waited a damn long time between 4 and 5, and spent all those years choosing my own adventure.  When the last three began releasing, it was time for him to do his job and tell me what happens, not tell me to go think about it some more.

    I feel like your expectations were high, it was a beautiful ending. I feel like Susannah went the way she did because her heart WASNT in the tower, her heart was with eddie and jake and "real life".

    I like your ending. when I re-read the series, I usually only read books 2-4. for me, those were the best. I've heard a lot of people complain about the ending of this series (hell, I've heard a lot of people complain about how SK ends most of his books). I don't know, for me there's always closure, so I've never been mad about his endings.
    I haven't read the seventh book in about 5 years or so, so I forgot how the crimson king bites it. that was pretty weird. I do like how other books are tied into the series (like patrick was also in Insomnia).

    and I can't even talk about Lost. my H and I are still super ninja pissed about the way they bitched out at the end. holy shiit, dude, you hook us season after season and because you have no idea how to end it, you do THAT? AND THEN YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS??

    yeah, I always liked susannah. and I think that once she lost eddie, she just didn't care about the tower anymore. I think that the little world they were in wasn't about the tower for her as much as it was about being with him.

    I also can't talk about oy. that was the hardest death for me, y'all.

    I think thats probably a big difference. I read them all in one go after they had all come out, so I didnt have all the build up you did. I thinkw hat I love MOST is just how (almost) everything is connected to the tower, in some way, in all of his books.

    Mel, I just don't think I can like you anymore. I disagree with you in every fiber of my being. Except that Oy dying sucked donkey balls.

    My sister and her husband have matching tattos of that swirly thingy.

    We'll base our mutual admiration for one another on Oy, then, and I will ignore the fact that you are apparently wrong about everything else. 

    I kid.  I have strong opinions that are rarely well liked.  I accept this as part of life.  You should hear my opinion of sandalboots.  I'm the villain of fall fashion, according to the girls in my office.  But really...find me a situation in life where your toes are hot but your ankles are cold.  Come on, people.

    [QUOTE]same here. I read them one after another. I remember reading awhile back that there was a fastasy series that was going on forever, and this old lady was hooked on it. she was really sick but what kept her alive was that she'd been waiting for the last book of the series to be written. I dont' know if she made it, but let's pretend she did. lvb, what swirly thingie?
    Posted by laladypoet[/QUOTE]

    I don't know if it's the same woman, but I read in one of the prologues in 5, 6, or 7 (don't know which) that an old woman with some terminal illness had written to him asking to know the ending, because she wouldn't be around long enough to read it.  He said he couldn't do it because he didn't know how it would end.  

    Geek confession: before we decided to elope, we put it in the contract with our venue that the marquee would read "Long Days and Pleasant Nights" for our wedding :)

    that's probably where I read it. for some reason, I thought it was a different series.

    where are you eloping to? I'm never here so I don't know things.
