About this listen

 Creating "true narrative magic" (The Washington Post) at every revelatory turn, Stephen King surpasses all expectation in the stunning final volume of his seven-part epic masterwork. Entwining stories and worlds from a vast and complex canvas, here is the conclusion readers have long awaited—breathtakingly imaginative, boldly visionary, and wholly entertaining.

Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings...and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.©2004 Stephen King; (P)2004 Simon & Schuster Inc.

What the critics say

Publisher's Weekly A pilgrimage that began with one lone man's quest to save multiple worlds from chaos and destruction unfolds into a tale of epic proportions. While King saw some criticism for the slow pace of 1982's The Gunslinger, the book that launched this series, The Drawing of the Three (Book II, 1987), reeled in readers with its fantastical allure. And those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy ever since will find their loyalty toward the series' creator richly rewarded. The tangled web of the tower's multiple worlds has manifested itself in many of King's other works -- The Stand (1978), Insomnia (1994) and Hearts in Atlantis (1999), to name a few. As one character explains here, "From the spring of 1970, when he typed the line The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed...very few of the things Stephen King wrote were 'just stories.' He may not believe that; we do." King, in fact, intertwines his own life story deeper and deeper into the tale of Roland and his surrogate family of gunslingers, and, in this final installment, playfully and seductively suggests that it might not be the author who drives the story, but rather the fictional characters that control the author. This philosophical exploration of free will and destiny may surprise those who have viewed King as a prolific pop-fiction dispenser. But a closer look at the brilliant complexity of his Dark Tower world should explain why this bestselling author has finally been recognized for his contribution to the contemporary literary canon. With the conclusion of this tale, ostensibly the last published work of his career, King has certainly reached the top of his game. And as for who or what resides at the top of the tower...The many readers dying to know will have to start at the beginning and work their way up.

Started this series in the late 80's and was drawn into Roland's quest. There was a bit of a lull in the series and I had decided to simply wait until after Stephen King had finished to pick it up again. I like horror, suspense and fantasy and this series delivers. The combining of other worlds with our own and integrating them was kind of neat! Roland was such an intense protagonist and his grueling circumstances and challenges made way for quite a tale! I was quite happy with the ending and I guess good things come to those that wait!

Since picking up this series again, I discovered the tie-ins from other books and am delighted to explore his multiverse!

I found the quality quite good and the only minor issues I had were when I used Bluetooth headphones. No issues on home or car speakers.

Roland's quest comes full circle!

We've made it to the Dark Tower in much of the same state as Roland's Ka-tet. And you know what? It has been quite a journey. I wasn't all on board with every single step, but it was the journey, not the destination, that I think made The Dark Tower series worth it for me. Only thing that keeps me from rating this book five stars is the beginning is long and introduces a bunch of characters that don't matter at all.
And that ending? Idgaf. It was great. The only way the series could have ended, imo.
