IT is my favorite King novel overall but what hooked me overall was when I realized all his books were about The Dark Tower. That was the game changer because indeed I realized all of it was one big connected universe.
How do you feel about the ending of The Dark Tower? I know a lot of fans hated it but i thought it was perfect.
Perhaps we need a King thread.

A King thread might not be a bad idea, considering Eye of the Dragon is coming as well as who knows what else. I would also note that the Dark Tower movie was a colossal fail. If any series of books needed the GOT treatment of long form storytelling, it's the Dark Tower. That film ended up as a 90s style cheesefest. Great cast though.
