Law of Feedback: The Dark Tower Three Tombs 
I finished The Dark Tower! 4600 pages per year and a half later since I started reading it, with more than ten books read between. Its plot divided into 7 volumes, plus a short story, I think it the longest book in history, as it may consider only one book because the plot is continuous. To get an idea, compare it with other famous sagas I come to mind: Harry Potter (3400 in 7 books), Dune (3400 in 6 books), The Chronicles of Narnia (2000 in 7 books) and The Lord of the Rings (1300 in 3 books, 1700 with The Hobbit). The Dark Tower is written by Stephen King, of which I have recently spoken here, which recognizes it as his magnum opus. He says this because virtually all of his books refer to the series or the other way around, interacting with each other and drinking each other, sharing people, places or concepts. To start it was based on the epic poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning and took 22 years to write, going on sale last part in 2004.
First book, The Gunslinger (renamed El Pistolero), begins with a now legendary opening line like so many others: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunman went behind him." This is how it presents the last gunslinger Roland Deschain of Gilead, running after Walter, the man in black, looking for revenge. Roland is a mysterious kind of serious and cold nature, character King acknowledges the inspiration of the Man with No Name Trilogy dollar, featuring Clint Eastwood. As the story progresses we discover that his real target is not Walter, but to reach the Dark Tower, a mythical building that does not know if it's real or a metaphor, but which according to legends recounted acts as a link between all the worlds. And in The Dark Tower more than one world, is in the living Roland, a world different from ours but that reminds the American West and in which there are old relics of a highly advanced society but now defunct, which could be our own former years. The world has moved and the time does not flow together, but Roland continues to advance in their quest, which is on its way with doors that teleport to another world, this time of ours and, more specifically New York, where he recruited three friends to help you on your adventure: a junkie, a disabled black woman with a triple personality and a child.
So Dark Tower starts as a futuristic western, but gradually you see that things are more complicated than they seem wildly with time travel through doors, but really are different links worlds that hang from the tower. Analyze the entire plot is demanding, because the storyline is very irregular and plays all the sticks, but it is clear that the base takes ideas from The Lord of the Rings: The protagonist is a company group, here called ka-tet; palantires is the name of grapefruit; towers through, a part of the world is known as Mid-World in clear reference to Middle Earth and also creates its own language as the High Speech. And is that King is a peculiar kind, consistently labeled as horror writer, but in the fourteen books I have yours I have seen that moves by science-fiction vampire stories and fantasy, as almost there is something unreal in between. Usually put enough straw in the stories, which in truth are less important than it seems by the number of pages, but curiously, it's easy to read and entertaining as he could.
The truth is that issues of this saga in our market are not very careful, because when I started looking for the first volumes went out of print and I had to get second hand, but now back to editing. In fact, I have up to three different publishers and there is a pack that will sell you the whole story. As for accommodations, the magnificent comic account of the birth of the gunman as a prequel, which is told in the fourth volume in the series. And these last few days sounds strong film adaptation, which they can bring. Will be provided by Ron Howard and starring Javier Bardem is rumored. Howard's idea is to make a trilogy of films that link between them with a TV series. Come on, a mess as is the argument itself, but it would still be fantastic.
