Edward Champion's Return of the Reluctant

One Paragraph Review

Stephen King's The Dark Tower is the silliest and most anticlimactic book I've read this year, with plodding prose, thin characters, meaningless deaths, and clunky exposition. It is perhaps King's worst book since The Tommyknockers. However, as a Kaufmanesque stunt intended to piss off loyal fanboys, in this regard, it's icily effective. The question, however, is whether such a ploy needed to kill so many trees and drain so many simpering saps' wallets.
