Things are also getting increasingly meta, which is normally something I enjoy. This particular volume features a town in desperate need of help, in the grand tradition of Westerns, but with a science fantasy twist, and that's a little bit interesting. It's just buried under so very, very, very many dull, stifling layers of flab and nonsense. There really is the skeleton of something interesting and exciting in this series somewhere. If it were, I'd probably find it easier to quit. I've put too much time into this thing to give up now, dammit!Īll right, it's not unmitigatedly terrible. This is Book 5 in the Dark Tower series, and at this point, I have to admit, my insistence on carrying on through this series is pretty much the very definition of the sunk cost fallacy.
