I LOVE the Dark Tower Series!!! You are talking about the Stephen King novels aren't you?
I nearly died when Stephen King got hit by that car and almost killed!! I thought we weren't going to ever get the end of the series! Oh how awful of me! Poor Stephen!
(Anyone else notice how he threw that experience into his stories after it happened?)
But anyway...I couldn't help but be reminded of the Dark Tower while watching the LOTR, and I would have to agree that I probably like the Dark Tower better...sorry LOTR fans  :-\
It could be because I read the book series before I saw or read LOTR...???

SK puts his accident in most post accident books he writes (i think he needs to get over it).

I suppose it's just because it was such a big thing, had a huge impact on his life.

I don't think he mentioned it in Cell did he???

Cell wasn't too bad. It's been a while since I read it now, back in November. I wouldn't say it was his best novel by any means, but nevertheless I had to finish it! A bit gory in some places.
