The Dark Tower 8-Book Boxed Set

Good quality bindings. Nice font and nice sized pages for a paperback - easy to read.

Awesome Set and well priced. Packaged carefully and perfect gift for Stephen King fan.

This is my favorite series by Stephen King.

Disclaimer: I am a HUGE Stephen King fan. That being said, I will write this review as non-bias as I can. Firstly, this series was absolutely incredible. It is not the typical Stephen King read (I.e., the series blends horror, science fiction, western, and thriller). It took me a bit of time to get through (you are definitely signing up for quite the task when purchasing this box set) but I am so happy that I decided to put in the time to read it. This is definitely a weird one (which is typical Stephen King fashion) and my recommendation would be not to immediately write it off. It is a LONG story with A LOT of moving parts, pieces, and story lines, which will fully blend together to paint a beautiful and incredible plot. The first book is a short, easy read and will leave you wanting more. Before starting, I read other reviews on this series saying how it was confusing or slow (which arguably can said about any long series at points) and I do not at all agree with these reviews. It can be confusing if you do not pay attention (again, this can be said about any series) and can be "slow" if you are not involved in the elaborate journey being laid out before you (I.e., if you are only focused on the present journey, as opposed to the multiple timelines/worlds/stories all being woven together to paint a complete picture). This is a must for any SK fan and a recommended read for those wanting to go down on a long, elaborate journey, being drawn in by the multidimensional characters and fantasy worlds.

I already have all the books but I've pieced them together over the years so not only are they different sizes but now they are older and very well-read so they were getting tattered. I was so happy to find this set of books and for an affordable price. Look great on the shelf and I can't wait to start reading them.

package came safe, in ideal conditions. books were great

Vintage Stephen King wrapped into the Dark Tower universe - a life long endeavor for King the stories were at time compelling and at times egocentric. Overall, worth reading for serious dark fantasy fans.

If you are a Dark Tower fan and don't own the series in its entirety, this is the most cost efficient way to go. While all the books are paperback, they have more heft than your typical mass market copy. The print is easy to read. I also like the uniform look of all the volumes. The addition of The Wind Through the Keyhole is an added bonus. The only negatives would be that the case that holds the books arrived damaged, but honestly that isn't enough for me to subtract any stars because the books are all in pristine condition. Also, these editions lack the wonderful illustrations, but all the art can be seen with a simple Google search. If you have never read these books, but enjoy epic fantasy or King's other works, then you should definitely give the DT series a chance.
