Give it a try. it has it's up and downs. Pacing becomes really awful sometimes though. Last addition to the series was pretty neat though, have to say. It bears many connection to other King's books, so if you interest, you may consider reading Salem's Lot, Heart in Atlantis. and Insomnia first.Many of my friends told me to read The Dark Tower series, because it has many supernatural elements and good story (things i like in a series), so i think i will read it (i am not a fan of books/novels i have to say, at least most of the times)
