I love the Dark Tower series. The other story didn't care for. I am not into that type of fantasy.

King was good.

The dark tower story was good, the other one probably was too. I just had never heard of him and it literally turned into a word salad referencing things I didn't know or care about.

King Story Excellent

Stephen King provides us with an untold chapter from his epic saga Dark Tower focused on main character Roland. 5 stars

The other story by Silverberg was terrible - ridiculously long names mentioned every other sentence.

Performance was overdramatic, pompous, and utterly laughable.

One well written, the other insightful

Silverberg tells a SF story of true insight by human into the poetry of the alian mind. I feel I'm entertained, while having my mind made more subtle in ways where I hadn't recognized a lack before; thank you sir.
The first story by S. KING is true to the rich storytelling he's known for. I've read, and heard the "gunslinger of Gilliad" through, and through, yet still savored hearing a tale well told; Remarkable feel of time, and place. Loved it.

50/50

The book by King, was enjoyable ! I'm a huge fan of the Dark Tower series. The second book was entertaining while I was busy. But to much like a romance novel with out romance. Also kept waiting for John Carter to jump into the story.

Only worth is for DT fans

As others said, this book is only worth it if you’re a Dark Tower fan. The first half is a great little story about Roland. The second half by Robert Silverberg is absolute garbage... uninteresting story, poor writing, and just an overall waste of time. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and tell audible you finished the book after the first half.
