" I had to stop this one about eighty pages in. I just couldn't get into it. Straub and King seem to have totally forgotten what made The Talisman so magical. There's no magic in Black House, at least not the small portion that I read. "

" I was disappointed with this book. I found it hard to get into, and was possibly, expecting too much, after all, "The Talisman", it's predecessor, was such an amazing read. After about 1/2 way into "Black House" I began to enjoy the story, but in the end, I could've done without. "

" This is an impressive novel for two reasons: it is a sequel to a novel with great weight (The Talisman) and it explores themes present throughout King's works (especially The Dark Tower; Roland is mentioned in passing). When combined that it is also a good read, that's a win. "

" Utterly magnificent - very different from The Talisman, but that's not a bad thing. A word of warning - this won't make a lot of sense without having a passing acquaintance with the first few Dark Tower books. "

" I loved Talisman and it was good to know that there is a sequel to it. This one is also a fun read. Jack has grown. The story becomes really interesting in the 3rd part. Great ending. No loose threads. Scenes are connected, leaving a sense of completion. "

" This book was not what I expected in the least! It took me awhile to get into it, but once I got the hang of it, I was totally engrossed. It is like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings meets Twilight and then all gets balled up into a more adult scary version of sci-fi. Great read!

" Muy buen libro, tiene un muy buen balance entre el terror (al final es de King), la aventura, y hasta acaba uno llorando. Al principio es un poco lento, pero en cuando la historia toma su camino, mejora y mejora y mejora =)
