Hey, just wondering if any of the Dark Tower (Gunslinger ect...) readers out there have finished the 6th Book: Song of Susannah. I just finished it, and all I can say is WOW! I didn't think Stephen King could get more creative, but... Well, any thought and opinions on the 6th book or series as a whole (without spoiling it for ppl that haven't read it)?

Normally i like King's books, but that series is just hard for me to read, can't really follow his ideas and thought processes to well. I'd rather read Insomnia or Misery

Wizard and Glass really turned me off, and I haven't even thought about the series since then. The three that came before it were great, though. Does it get any better?

Wizard and Glass is probably my least favorite book in the series. It isn't truly necessary in my opinion after finishing the 6th book, but it does give interesting insight on why Roland does the things he does. The 5th book, Wolves of the Calla is awesome, gets back to the original storyline, and ends with a really cool concept. The 6th book is a continuation of the really cool concept, and really ties up a lot of loose ends. Don't let Wizard and Glass ruin an awesome series for you, give the 5th book a chance.
