I love these books. I thought it was gutsy of King to write himself into the story. My only quibble with the end was the Crimson King himself-- I thought he was basically Annie Wilkes reconstituted, which was a boring and not a little disappointing. Otherwise, I thought it ended exactly the way it had to.

Wizard and Glass was my least favorite. I thought the story got really bogged down with Roland and Susan. I don't think King does romance well.

My favorite book is the Drawing of the Three-- so excellent.

Overall, though, I am a total Tower junkie.

I also love Insomnia, which contains references to events and characters in the Dark Tower-- anyone else here read that one? The little bald doctor creatures in that story are terrifying. I didn't sleep a wink after I read it.
