    I LOVE SoS!! The backstory and like how Jean said it's like TDOTT all over again because the tet is trying to get back together.... and how they get back together. King was a sly dog putting himself in like that lol. This ranks among my three favorites, the other two being The Drawing of the Three and The Wastelands..... Maybe the Dark Tower also, but that one just made me so sad... W&G is my least favorite... *gag*

    Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

    Even though I have said there were some aspects of the book I did not care for, I did like the very The Empire Strikes Back feel that the book had. I've always enjoyed seeing the good guys have separated and racing against time to stop an impending apocalypse. Also, the Dixie Pig scenes were very morbid and we finally got to see some vampires.

    I agree with you completely. One of the things I love about the book was the breakneck pace with so much meaningful events in it. I feel like I have to take deep breaths at certain parts.

    One of the parts of the book that really got to me was Susannah's vision with the names of these folk being dead.

    I'm still not done with the re-read...liked the scene with Mia and Susannah on the allure...Mia, "great men of thought...deduction--these came together and created the machines which run the beams." And now the Breakers are hell bent on going along to get along, bust the beams, burn down the house. Theorizing diaspora adjudicating hybridity, when nothing could be further from the truth...and the link to Lisey's Story is intriguing...hyenas, jackals.

    i have just finished my re-read and the first time i didint like the mia-susannah storyline. I have changed my mind it is really good and I guess it does make sense that she would fall prey to this again but the book is so much more than that. It all seems so hopeless after they get blown through the door and it is really tense waiting for the tet get back together.

    I LOVED the lead up to the Dixie Pig scene.

    So much happens and so much is revealed. The break neck speed suits the idea of it all ending as Roland says to Eddie. He feels the tower is close.

    I loved Stephen King and the whole breaking the 4th wall thing - i liked the affect it has as you read it.

    I also think Mia is an intruging character as well.

    I am reading through the series, yet again, I always look forward to SoS. If I could simply not read WaG, my life would be much easier, and my rereads that much quicker.
