You’ll write many stories, but every one will be to some greater or lesser degree about this story.

I am, in all honesty and with true sincerity, starting to question reality. Remember when I read The Drawing of the Three (Dark Tower #2) and complained that King needs an editor because he shouldn’t be referring to his own work (the film version of The Shining) as content experienced by new characters in this totally different world? And then I read Wizard and Glass (Dark Tower #4) and I was like, “TUBE NECK HOW DARE YOU?!” but then totally turned around on it, and […]

A spoiler free story about my journey to the Dark Tower

January 8, 2016 by thewheelbarrow 5 Comments

Wow!!!  But before I get into the real review, I must discuss my 2015.  Feel free to skip ahead but you’ll miss out on the ride. I decided to read the Dark Tower series last year.  I set my ambitions high and planned to read the entire DT universe and all books that tied in to the series.  I counted 27 of those books and I thought that I would have a very Stephen King year.  I was not a fan of Stephen King before, […]

Few verbs. Kitty: Own the Wind, the first in the Chaos series, is pretty much the epitome of KA terribleness. Shy, […]
