do you think it would easily beat The Stand?

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think so. Most people here, in my estimation, are Dark Tower fans first and King fans second. I may be wrong, but that's my sense when this question came up a couple times. Not me, though, I'm the other way around. I didn't start reading The Dark Tower until just a few years ago, with quite a sizable chunk of King books already read.
On this site I'm sure it would. As Pablo said, I think a majority of people here are more DT fans, than King fans. But if you did a poll elsewhere I think it would be the opposite, with a lot of people never having read The Dark Tower. Most people I know have never even heard of it, and the few friends that I have that do read King, have not read it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
maybe we should some day have this event excluding the Dark Tower. To see how other books compete without it.

That's actually an intriguing idea. However, for better or worse, I bet The Stand will still win :grumble-grumble:
Well, in any case, it would be one of the few novels that could top The Stand at the weigh-in.Originally Posted by Jean
last chance to vote! the poll is closing!

I'm glad I made it in on time
I will say that almost every SK I have read is a 5 with maybe 5 or 6 rating lower and a few still yet to be read. I started reading SK when Salem's Lot came out as a paperback and still have yet to read Carrie and The Shining(I do own 1st/1st of both, hehe). Not sure what the hang up is there.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
There would be no need to hold any polls in that case. The Dark Tower as a single novel will get all 100%I don't think it would get the 100% (very close mind) for me as a complete work The Stand does seem a better all round novel that didn't let up for one instance (sorry Pablo)
As a complete novel, i think DT sagged in some places (Drawing, wastelands 10/10 from me, wizard, susannah not so much so)
As to whether it would beat The Stand, I agree with Heather that it would on this site, however in the wider arena I don't think so as a lot of SK readers adore the Stand and weren't that blown away with DT
If I were judging the Dark Tower as a whole instead of each installment, I would still vote for "IT".

as would bears

I agree with this. In my opinion, TDT as a single novel would beat a lot of SK's other books, but if it could even be put into direct competition with it's own individual volumes, it would not win against every one of those.

The poll has closed. The Gunslinger has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.439024390 or 88.78%, placing 2nd (runner-up) in this bracket. It will be moving on to Round 2.
