It's a good book., October 9, 2001 Reviewer: Chad Messer (see more about me) from Waynesville, North carolina United States Everyone is whining that this is more of a Dark Tower book than a sequel to the Talisman, and they are right. The Tower is a significant part of this story. Look back, though, and so was the Talisman. So was Hearts in Atlantis. In ways, Black House is the lynchpin of the entire King universe, because it takes a stab at explaining all of the strange things about which he has been writing. It's all about the Tower, and it's all about slippage. People say they crave the simplicity of storyline found in Insomnia and the like, but the events and characters in those also have ties to the Tower and the Crimson King. The Stand, Hearts in Atlantis, The Shining, Carrie, Eyes of the Dragon--the events in these books are tracable to slippage and the teritories. Perhaps the reason that people love or harte this book so passionately is because it is the nexus, the center of a storyline that goes... Hmmmm...., October 9, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Long Island I am having a lot of difficulty typing this review. I am having the same difficulty trying to really like this book. I have been a fan of Stephen King's for 24 years and have read every one of his books. This is not one of his better ones.
