Both MR MERCEDES and END OF WATCH received the Goodreads Choice Award for the Best Mystery and Thriller of 2014 and 2016 respectively.
King co-wrote the bestselling novel Sleeping Beauties with his son Owen King, and many of King's books have been turned into celebrated films and television series including The Shawshank Redemption, Gerald's Game and It.
King was the recipient of America's prestigious 2014 National Medal of Arts and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for distinguished contribution to American Letters. In 2007 he also won the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He lives with his wife Tabitha King in Maine.

Firstly, this series was absolutely incredible. It is not the typical Stephen King read (I.e., the series blends horror, science fiction, western, and thriller). It took me a bit of time to get through (you are definitely signing up for quite the task when purchasing this box set) but I am so happy that I decided to put in the time to read it.
This is definitely a weird one (which is typical Stephen King fashion) and my recommendation would be not to immediately write it off. It is a LONG story with A LOT of moving parts, pieces, and story lines, which will fully blend together to paint a beautiful and incredible plot. The first book is a short, easy read and will leave you wanting more.
Before starting, I read other reviews on this series saying how it was confusing or slow (which arguably can said about any long series at points) and I do not at all agree with these reviews. It can be confusing if you do not pay attention (again, this can be said about any series) and can be "slow" if you are not involved in the elaborate journey being laid out before you (I.e., if you are only focused on the present journey, as opposed to the multiple timelines/worlds/stories all being woven together to paint a complete picture).
This is a must for any SK fan and a recommended read for those wanting to go down on a long, elaborate journey, being drawn in by the multidimensional characters and fantasy worlds.
and excited to read.
The first book was a little tough to read because it was written roughly. The climax of the book seemed a bit like nonsense, but that didn't bother me too much because it was written by King at a very young age and he obviously had enough of a vision for the story to write eight more of them. The second book was better than the first from the beginning, and was completely enthralling. Roland's quest for the Dark Tower is fantastic. I understand why he didn't, but I think the Dark Tower series would be more well known if King had rewritten the first novel completely from scratch instead of just editing it for rerelease.
Although the writing was good, the plot twist with him as a necessary player, spoiled the wonder of the tale.

Non vedo l'ora di ricominciare il mio viaggio verso la Torre insieme a Roland. Altro giro della ruota del ka, nuove emozioni che mi aspettano.
Bellissima collezione, ha però alcune imperfezioni e piccole ammaccature. Sorpassabili, tutto sommato.
