This has long been one of my favorite King books, partly because of the major tie-ins to his “Dark Tower” series, which I spent ten years following. At the time the paperback version of “Insomnia” was released, King had only published 3 books in the DT series, and I was thrilled to discover that he hadn’t forgotten about my old friend Roland.

This book has been in my collection for about 10 years, and I’m finally letting it go now that the DT series is complete. (I was afraid I might miss something if I didn’t have all my “reference materials” at hand while reading the last book in the series).

This used to be one of my favorite King novels, especially with the brief tie-ins to the Dark Tower series. I lost faith in King, though, after finally getting through Book 7 of the DT series...so I'm finally letting this one go!
