"This book might be one of the single most important books about Stephen King ever written. . . . Beginning with the premise that all of King's work is intertwined in an intricate weave of overlapping narrative threads, with the world of the Dark Tower as the linchpin around which everything else orbits, Wiater, Golden, and Wagner carefully prove their point, in an entertaining, intriguing, and thoroughly indisputable way." --Stephen Spignesi, author of "The Essential Stephen King"

I am a huge Stephen King fan and have been for many years. This book is a must have companion if you indulge frequently in Stephen King's works. Even the most hardcore fan would learn a thing or two reading this, all the little references and cross overs of characters, places and time lines through out much of his collection. I would buy an updated version if one came alone, one that includes more of his recent works such as Cell and Liseys Story. 5/5 for Stephen King fans.
I was mostly interested in this to find out about the whole Dark Tower thing. A series that has never moved high enough up the priority list to get to, given its length. Lots of people seem to approve of it, though. Apparently there are crossover bits here and there in his 'universe' with this series, and Golden explains that. Having never read The Stand, either, was part of it, I think.
From what Golden says about that, it does look interesting.
So, for a look at that sort of thing, a clear and useful book.
