Last Shots (Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, #6)

This is really a bit of swan song to series. I will admit I have not read the books in the correct order or even got the series completed and here I am reading the final specials. But to be honest I am glad that I did it this way. reading the introduction you can see that it is being treated as the closing of the project and an end to the journey. In their own words there are still many more stories still to tell but for the time being its the end of this chapter - and possible the end of their telling of the stories - but who knows.
The book itself is really a series of short stories inter spaced through the other books - a bit of a lost episode collection or if you like chapters that were missed out in the previous books. Either way they stand up on their own although you do not see the stories that lead them to those particular predicaments however I think that is part of the thrill of reading this book out of sequence - I now want to go back and read them and see not only where they fit in but how on earth they got themselves in to those situations in the first place.
Now I will warn that this book is really for the fan or for the true adventurer - its not for every one and I can see some reading getting frustrated with it - but stick with it, its worth it.
