One great adventure, this was an exciting book to me, and also my favorite of the series but that is not why I give it a 5 :)
: intrigued :
Second least favorite of the series, right after Wizard & Glass. Callahan's story was awesome though, could've been its own novel. A three.
oh, this thread needs more Wolves lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as I said many times before, it's bears' very favorite volume of the novel
Loved it. This is easily in my top two for the series.

Bears I love all of the above including the lollygagging and jumping in the hay but mostly I love that this is where Roland becomes a whole person to me, where he feels most real if you know what I mean.
Up near the top, but not at the top. Strong 4.
5. 2nd favorite (after WaG) I think the casual pace of the novel is part of the enjoyment for me. This might be why I loved WaG so much.
5555555555555!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best book in the series and one of SK's best ever. The whole "Magnificent 7", guns a blazing was just awesome:)
A strong 4. Way too much set up and too little pay-off. It was a very good read, but not one of his best. A stand-alone story.
yes! yes!! bears think of it as "the seven samurai" part, but totally agree with the restQuote:
