Return to Stephen King's "Dark Tower"

Before we get to the comments of Amazon's editors, I wanted to throw in a couple of words. In my Bag of Bones review, I dissed King pretty hard. And I do not read science fiction anymore, pretty much gave it up with comic books. BUT this series is incredibly well-written and deals with a number of social issues. The series can be read at several levels, just like Mark Twain: It is great entertainment, but there is much deeper stuff going on here for those who look for it. Highly, highly recommended, even for non-King fans.
