We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain't no whales, so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tune.

A friend gave me the first The Dark Tower book years ago and I still haven't read it despite really wanting to since it looks like exactly my jam.

Never really read a Stephen King book. I do kinda want to read IT though.

Start with Dark Tower

I didn't care for a certain part of the ending, but yeah just about everything else is fucking amazing.

Everything I've heard about Pennywise makes me want to read about him, since IT seems legitimately intriguing.

But it's also like 1100 pages. >_>


IT is such a good read that it won't feel like you read 1100+ pages by the time you're done reading it. The Stand was the same.

I think he's talking more about the climax than the end, if that gives you a hand in figuring it out.

Nope.
Part 1 of the stand is great, then it drags.

Needful things is king at his best, doing different characters per chapter. My favorite of his full books.

The story is so masterfully told that you'll hardly notice the length. You'll be at work wondering when you can get back to the beast of a book.

Needful Things is excellent, but it has a dumb ending. The movie adaptation, IMO, has a better one.

The Stand kind of has a silly ending too. And like the poster above said, the first half is definitely the better one.
