I just finished the last book of this series(not counting the one from 2012 that's an interquel) last night. Has anyone else read these? If so, what are your thoughts? I guess going forward in this thread it would be a good idea for anyone who gets really specific to use some sort of spoiler tags, in case anyone who hasn't read the books stumbles in here.
As for me, given the length and complexity of the tale, I'm still working through my feelings regarding the story as a whole as well as the individual books and how they struck me. I definitely think that it's not perfect, which even King himself admits to be the case, but as a whole I think I can safely say that The Dark Tower is very powerful and worthwhile, and is therefore something I would recommend to others. I'd be interested to hear what others think, especially regarding the "metafiction" aspect.
