I read the first one and thought it was excellent.

I read the second one and thought it was pretty good.

I read the third one and thought it was ok.

I read the fourth one and thought it was excellent (the backstory parts were, anyway).

I read the fifth one and thought it was stupid. (I mean, come on: robots dressed like Dr. Doom carrying lightsabers and exploding Harry Potter snitches?!)

I read the sixth one and thought it was even more stupid. (He put HIMSELF IN THE BOOK?!?!)

I read half of the seventh one, and I just couldn't take any more. I did skip to the end, so I could see how the series ended (I would've hated to have put all that time into a series to not know the ending), and I literally tossed the book against my wall. I thought the ending was one of the worst endings in the history of bad endings.

At that time I made a vow never to read another Stephen King book again. Those are many hours of my life that I will never get back.

Curse you, Stephen..........curse you...........


At least now I've learned how NOT to write a fantasy series.
