    I'm really sad to see so many people put SoS at the bottom of their list I really don't understand it.

    I lack an understanding of it also. I made a thread talking about this very subject and I still don't get it.

    Of course, I don't get how WOTC and Dark Tower can be on the lowest rung in your choices...

    SoS is great. But the Ka tet is NEVER together in this book. Not in a single scene. I have Wizard and Glass as my favorite because it's the only one in the series that can be read without reading the others. It stands alone.
    Also, SoS is a little short.
    So is The Gunslinger.
    Lame reasons to put them in the bottom of my list, but I like long books.

    I think the Gunslinger can stand alone, too. Quite well.

    About WoTC and TDT being at the bottom of my list, it's basically due to the fact that I really liked the first four books (it seems all girls like W&G anyway )
    Jean, I really didn't like TDOTT as much as the others. I guess I found it was more of an introduction to the real story than a part of the series. I thought it lacked fantasy. And I also didn't really like the main characters appearing in this one.
    I guess that also helped putting TDT at the bottom of my list: I've never been too fond of the Italian gangster type like the Andolinis and Balazar. The book is great, though, just not as much as the others in my opinion. I'll have to reread WOTC since everytime I read it, I like it better

    I am indefinitely bored by Italian gangsters, but even that didn't prevent me from loving the book... I loved exactly what you listed, the minimum of fantasy elements, the introduction of the characters, and how it (unlike the Gunslinger) finally became the real story, with all the dialectics of relationships.

    don't think there was ever an alternative ending.


    ok, my list:

    1. Wastelands
    2. Dark Tower
    3. Wolves Of Calla
    4. Drowing Of The Three
    5. Song Of Susannah
    6. Gunslinger
    7. Wizard And Glass


    BUT I have to reread Wizard, maybe I will finally like it. Comic books show me I may change my mind.

    The Little Sisters of Eluria is everything but an alternative ending.
    It's about Roland after Wizard and Glass but before the Gunslinger. So it shows a piece of his journey when he was chasing the Man in Black.

    Well, I didn't like Wizard And Glass, didn't like it very much It was so boring for me, I wasn't interested in young Roland years at all, I wanted to know what is happening in the present time.
    But now, as I read Dark Tower comics I start to like this period and I think I will finally like Wizard And Glass after second chance I will give to this book.

    I'm sure we should make an inquiry on the website asking for people their gender and their favourite book. I bet W&G is women's #1 favourite and men's least liked book

    It is so in most cases, but there are some surprising exceptions. My friend BROWNING'S CHILDE comes to mind first... wonders never cease...

    W&G if not my favorite is tied with The Gunslinger.

    No, but it can be better than the translation of the other volumes.

    Wow, I really didn't think guys could actually prefer that one. Maybe Polish men relate to the story... or maybe I'm totally wrong!
