I guess I'm by my lonesome here....I liked the books! The whole series. It's been at least a decade since I read them. When I saw the movie preview, I knew I had to go see it.
It was good, but if you went to see the books on film, you'd be disappointed. And I was.
I find it ironic that Stephen King is virulently anti gun, but in the dark tower series, they were indispensable and vital to the plot. Two of the main characters, even.
