The first time I read it I really loved it but there isn't a choice for confused :lol:
That is what I was, totally confused and I believe it took several times through before I finally got it.

The way he overlapped the back story had me reeling for a bit, I'm okay now.
this was back in my harsh stoner years. :lol:
You were a stoner?
Wasn't everyone? It was the 80's :lol:
I wouldn't know. I wasn't even born until 93.
That makes you OLD! Just Kidding.
He offers an amazing perspective for sure. Jean I mean. :wub:
Hmmm...I'm not sure I feel any differently about people that don't get into it, my daughter is one of them!! :lol:
Maybe another kid.
TerribleT and Matt: thank you for your kind words... the longer I live the more I feel the exotic experience I live through can't be all that useless, at least because it made me sensitive towards the slightest symptoms of totalitarian thinking, even when in democratic countries it comes on soft paws and not in the nailed military boots. I hope we can talk about all that elsewhere.

It's ok. I just happen to like old people.
After many recommendations i decided on reading it which became my first S.K. book. in the beginning it was difficult to get use to his style of writing but now im an addict i cant get enough
To be honest with you, even though I do feel like the book isn't nearly as good as the books that followed it (with only one exception), I was actually quite interested the whole time. It was only until I read books two and three that I realized how much less I liked this one, so it wasn't a bad book at all, just not as good as it's sequel.
Definitely one of my favorite parts-probably because it involves two of the most lovale characters, i.e. David and Cort.
I thought the writing of the original had a stilted, Writer's workshop feel to it, which I guess you'd expect from an overly ambitious twenty year-old would-be writer.
Still, it was unique. It's the cornerstone of Roland's saga, and you have to respect that.
