as far as liking is concerned I think I might like the revised more than the original. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet; but I hope I will soon.

Precisely. I've never loved The Gunslinger, and I don't think I ever will - but I agree that it was a worthy effort. It's full of this noble madness, insights and visions of a young author who just...

If you wonder who gave you a rep point for this post, it was me. Nice to see you back. Nice to hear you talk, too. Nothing like a good old Mattqhew at his most usual.

For me it depends on who you are talking to. If King feels it's important to him that his series, his Great Work, be consistent then it's important for him and I can see why. I think...

I don't know. As I said, I was merely speculating theoretically. Sooner or later I will be able to get the Revised, and then I can speak more specifically.

no, for the reasons beyond my control.

Monte: that's why all my speculations are merely theoretical. I am not criticizing the Revised which I haven't read, I'm just making some statements based on...

Yes. It does. It could* make me feel as if all that excitement or wondrous feelings I experienced while reading the Original were misplaced. As if I was trusting a fake love letter. We get too...

Whether or not the Revised is good, I co-sign the above statement as a general art manifesto.



and this is another thing: The Revised and the Original mutually kill each other for those who...

That's why I have been unable to bring myself to reading the Revised yet.
