" If you are a Dark Tower fan then this book is a must have. While you can read it on it's own, having read the Dark Tower make some of the references clearer. I would highly recommend. "

" I am not sure if I understood the characters and especially the intermingling of two different stories. I may not have done justice to the rating because I am not familiar with this series. Maybe, I will try again with previous books in the series and obtain a better understanding. Take my comments based on this one book and decide for yourself. "

" Technically, The Wind through the Keyhole, written by Stephen King and narrated by George Guidall is NOT in the Gun Slinger series. This books it a later eddition that King calls 4.5. Start at book number one (the gunslinger) and listen or read them all. It is fantastic and well worth the time. George Guidall is a fantastic narrator of this book. After completion of the sixth book in the series the characters in the book have become well developed and at this point it is natural to have a favorite. Mine is Eddie Dean.

" Great bonus read for those who've missed the Dark Tower series. It's a story within a story within a story. I don't recommend it as a stand-alone or first Dark Tower book, however. "

" Remember when Michael Jordan hit a championship winning basket to end his career? That shot was the end of Dark Tower book 7. Remember when he came back and played for the Washington Wizards? That's The Wind Through the Keyhole; it's mildly amusing but adds nothing to the pre-existing legacy. This "book 4.5" release from last year is essentially two reasonably entertaining back stories from the dark tower universe tenuously connected by a throwaway scene that wasn't strong enough to make it into the 1,500 pages that comprised books 4 & 5 proper. This is a nice stroll down memory lane for fans of the series, but it's never profound. "

" Thought it was a great read, but I seem to love all Stephen King's stuff. I was trying to figure it out....I believe this was a story within a story within a story. I love his story telling and would definitely read more dark tower books!! "

" I guess the ending didn't traumatize me too much since I came back for more. Loved this nested story that gave a bit more insight into Roland and his world. And despite it being chronologically 4.5 in the series, I always hold with reading in publication order and am glad I did that here as well. "

" I thought this "out of place" novel would not be as good as the "regular" Gunslinger series but it was! It is not as long as the others but is every bit as intense and a very good story. I could not put it down. If you have not read any of the gunslinger series this works as a stand alone. "

" A coming of age story within a story within a story... Villianous monsters, heroic gunslingers, forgiving dragons and a mother-whopping, bone-rattling, teeth-chattering monster of a mythical ice storm. A hellava fun way to spend a Nor-easter! "
