"The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King

[SulcataIxlude]

Hello I was wondering if anyone here has ever read this magnificent series composed by Stephen King. I have a few questions about the books however, and well they may include a few tiny spoilers.

1. Is Marten and Flagg both the same person or are they both different personas (a.k.a. twinners)?

2. Who is the Crimson King exactly, and most importantly what does it look like?

3. Do you folks believe Roland will reach the dark tower, or will he die along the way, or perhaps his ka-tet will die along the path to the tower?

4. Is IT and "the beast" on the top floor of the tower similar to one another?

5. What role do you people think that Eddie, Susana, and Jake will have in helping Roland with his quest to the tower? Eddie did kill Blaine by asking it jokes instead of riddles thus driving Blaine crazy, and then shot it once the train began to launch lightning to kill him. And Susana did help solve that one prime number riddle for everyone to gain access to Blaine when Lud was self-destructing due to our favorite scitzo train blaine the pain. Yet Jake has yet to prove his purpose, and the other members might have other uses.

Thanks again.

Susana's probably gonna die giving birth. Whether it's Eddie's or the demon's, we don't know.

God, I love that series...

I haven't read the Dark Tower - yet - but I have read some of King's other books. In "Insomnia" Ralph Roberts actually meets the Crimson King. The Crimson King is described as an ugly red "Catfish" looking being. Though, it has been said that the Crimson King actually represents some part of King himself. I don't know if that's true or not.

Stephen king has mentioned that many of his other stories tie in with The Dark Tower.

*Thinks for a long time trying to immagine what the CK looks like, and notices this response.*

Wow he sounds pretty damn cool from the sounds of it, and I always immagined that the CK looked like some tall red shadowish demonic figure with a gold crown laced with jewels on his head, and with piercing pupilis white eyes that glow. I have read on several Dark Tower forums that there could be a chance that stephen king could be the CK himself as ya stated, and perhaps he might release the final volume of the series after his death, or something of that nature. Some folks need to get a life, and eat pancakes or something constructive.

My next two questions are spoilers in a sense, so to those who have not read the books, or have not completed the forth installment please do not read below......























Do you think that they will fight, or at least meet Randall Flagg at Thunderclap? Also how do you think that father callahan character will fit into this whole mess? Since it said at the end of salems lot he took a bus to a place called "thunderclap.", and perhaps we might get a chance to see Roland, and friends kill some vampires. However I think Oy will die in the next book since in that one vision Roland had when he looked into the wizards glass in DK IV it showed our favorite billybumbler impaled on a tree. Thanks for your time.
