I loved the Talisman, one of the best adventure books for a kid to read, now Jack has grown up and so has the story.

This book is dark, mysterious and still a gripping story. When you reach the black house you experience some of Stephen King's surrealist writing. There is so much of the story that I didn't understand it required a second reading a few years later to pick up some things I missed the first time around.

The bad guy, known as The Fisherman, is brilliant, he is one evil dude.

I love how so many of King's books are linked to the Dark Tower and I think this is one of the better ones.
