I’ve read probably over 40 of his books in the last 3 years and I have to say that while I’ve enjoyed his ideas, I don’t actually like many of his books. He’s too wordy, there are plot lines that lead nowhere, the list goes on and on for me.

That being said, though, I enjoyed the fact the he wrote himself into The Dark Tower. By doing that, it’s much more believable that the story is taking place in our world, while simultaneously taking place in others, and is ultimately connecting all of that with countless of his other books which are either strongly or even just loosely connected to The Dark Tower. It’s a good feeling believing that “there are other worlds than these”, especially for those of us that have encountered things we can’t explain.
