Stephen King knows how to write great prose. With his in-depth descriptions, the listener sees, feels, and tastes every detail he describes. However, the Dark Tower series is exceptionally robust, and the print version may be a better choice for keeping up with this story. King reads his own work with confidence and does a thorough job with the characters’ accents. However, his vocal timbre is not a good match for the protagonist, Roland Deschain. While King does a commendable job navigating the listener through some important and interesting details in this adventure, sometimes reading a book in print works better than having it read aloud—even when the narrator is the author.
