Black House and the Talisman
Just read both books for the first time this past month. I don’t know what happened but I could not stand The Talisman like live read 60+ of SK’s books and this is bottom 5 for me. So long and felt like nothing was ever happening. Dreaded that there were two more books in the series but then read Black House and that went super quick and easy. Black house that like top 5 for me. And now I can’t wait for the new book this fall.
Was wondering if anyone else had an experience like this?
My guess is that the Dark tower universe hadn’t been built out yet and they didn’t have the technology to work in the tower in the first book. But when they wrote the second book they were shoving that tower wherever possible, and the constant reader followed.
