The Dark Tower
Last night, I finished reading the seventh and final book of the
These sections gave me a glimpse of certain events that, while a long, long way off, will eventually came due. And break my heart.
I was so disturbed by these sections that I continued to read them over, even after finishing the book. I was actually glad to be returning the book to the library. There was great temptation to continue re-reading those pages. However, there is no point in focusing on eventual events in the distant future; not when you can enjoy the moments you have right now.

Interesting. I think you should elaborate on those sections that left such impressions. I felt the same way, if I recall.
The two sections that caused such sorrow were the dying at 'Breaker U' and the events surrounding the final death before reaching the dark tower. As a spouse and a pet owener, you never want to think about those things. And I felt terrible for doing just that. However, it wasn't hard to drawn a line from the consequences of events in the book to those in my life
Sam, What sections left impressions on you?
Pretty much the same ones, actually. But also the ending, and I think the death of a certain character (I don't want to spoil it) by van was pretty rough.
Tough stuff. I liked the ending, though.
As did I. It seems that we are in the minority. Most people posting on the B&N.com, Amazon.com, et al, felt differently.
