Happy. Ending. Happy fuckin' ending, people. Can you give a sister one, for once?
I should have stopped at Chapter 24. Just tack on "And they lived in London 4ever happily ever after. THE END." Goddamnit.

Screw this depressing crap. I'm reading Howl next.

I REALLY tried to like Dark Tower. I liked the first book quite a bit. The gunslinger was cool. The second book was not good. I liked the lobstrocities on the beach. They were very cool though. I quit on the third book. It was awful. His companions pissed me off. I hated the psycho cripple lady. And that stupid love thing going on. And after like 3 months of DRY FIRING a pistol they were suddenly as awesome as the gunslinger. Gay.

Did you read the entirety of The Drawing of the Three? It picks up quite a bit as things go on. The reason Eddie and Odetta/Detta could learn how to draw so fast was...a literary device, I suppose. They were all supposed to be special. I just sort of accepted the fact that they'd been hardened by their time with Roland and they'd naturally be gunslingers in their own way, particularly when Roland started comparing them to his compatriots Alain and Cuthbert.
