The End is The Beginning is The End



Just finished reading the Dark Tower series. And for now let me be the wordslinger. Thankee-sai!

The Dark Tower series tells the tale of Roland Deschain and his qeust for the elusive Dark Tower. The sotry begins in Out-World where Roland chases the "man in black" whom he think knows the way to the Dark Tower. In his journey, he draws 3 companions from our world to accompany him in his quest. What's so capturing about the book is how the author connects our world to Roland's world and to other worlds as well. While the main plot is Roland's quest to reach to Dark Tower (not to save it I tell yah, but to reach it and find out just what is inside) the character development remains rich in pertinent detail while preserving the mood of the story. In other words, there never was a dull moment in the series. As the story progresses, the excitement increases exponentially leaving the readers gasping for air by the time they reach the last book. The book was masterfully done and exquisitely rich with details, many readers will either praise Sai-King or condemn him to hell by the time they finish the book. But we should always remember that Sai-King did not made these things up, he only wrote down what he saw.

While I was reading the series, two questions persistently troubles my mind every now and then, and maybe as a reader of The Dark Tower series you might probably encounter these questions. "What will happen to Roland after he reaches the Tower? and "What is inside the Tower?" But I know you all know the answer, most of us just can't accept it.

It's ka

And as for me, Ves-Ka'Gan sings beautifully inside my head. what more can i ask for?! :D

Long day and pleasant nights! Thankee-sai! :D
