I actually download my books on audible, I spend a lot of time driving so I like to listens to books and Podcasts while I do it, it'd so reasonable too. Thank you though

Hope you enjoy it @Niamh. Although now @Benjamin has said he enjoyed it we will at least know it'll be your own fault if you don't because he and I have impeccable taste.

@Livia & @Benjamin I really enjoyed it, I liked the monster bit, was it real or not and it was so engaging. Really good story, only criticism is I would have liked a longer conclusion

Ew. They compressed 7 books into that one film and cut main characters. I refuse to watch it. The books are amazing.

I might give them a go if they're on audible

I'm on to Book 2 now, I didn't love the first one I have to say but I said i'd try book 2 anyway, I much prefer this one so far. I must have misread this post originally and only thought there were 3 books. Mental how they tried to fit 7 books worth into 1 film, 3 is bad enough

Yeah the first book is slow, it’s just building up to the rest. But it is important. I thought they’d put book 1 and 2 into one film. But yeah, they squashed in all 7.

…oh you’ve mentioned the series before as being some of your favourites…one of my sons has read them and they’re some of his favourites too…like Niamh, I’ve only seen one of the films…but I think only one was made …?…and the story was all incomplete…

Yeah, no idea why they decided to try and put all 7 books into one film. It removed most of the actual story I imagine and they took out loads of main characters who are in the book series from start to finish.

…I always feel so nervous with stories that I’ve loved the book and then know that they’re going to be adapted into the screen…it’s quite devastating when so much of a story’s detail and its heart is lost in the adaption and sometimes there are parts, which are key moments…that are completely changed to the point that it isn’t the same story anymore…I guess it’s easier now with mini-series and series adaptions because so much doesn’t have to be condensed and lost within a very small time frame…and maybe Dark Towers could be made so well now that would more mirror the written story…

They are on Audible so I'll get the first one when my next credit is in

Looks like you could do with a lot more reading

[Mystic Mock]

I'm reading Altered Carbon at the moment.

If you like Cyberpunk Noir fiction, then it should be up your alley.

If not then obviously avoid.

Ahhhhh! There’s an 8th after which I mentioned before, but it’s more of a side book but worth a read (The Wind Through the Keyhole).

How have you found the series so far?

Yeah I'll get that after I finish, may as well read them all

Spoiler:

it did take an expected turn when they brought Stephen King into it. I wasn't sure what to make of that turn of events but it's interesting. I've really enjoyed the journey
