Didn't get to the comments. Good to know I was right. I don't mind spoilers on the whole because any story that can truly be ruined by them is just not a good story, or at least not one that is any longer enjoyable in the 21st Century (I knew what Rosebud was before I knew what Citizen Kane was, but that didn't ruin the film, for example). In the Dark Tower's case, though, I'm very much depending on the suspense to keep me going after the shaggy bumbler story that was WaG.

You've already come across references to it at the end of TDotT, even if you don't know it yet. ;)<br /><br />No, but seriously, I hope you didn't read too many reviews of this (er, especially the comments on JOEL'S review), because there are some huge fucking spoilers out there. <br /><br />Best to just keep your head down and plow on.<br /><br />essjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117046454917324592noreply@blogger.com
