I did start The Wind Through the Keyhole by King. It kept staring at me. It's not as thick as his other books - in fact, a mighty thin book for King at 300 pages. I'm up to page 80 and I'd say that so far my impression is that it would be a book for people who really, really, really want to read any story in the Dark Tower series. The beginning feels awkward as though King didn't know how to segue into a story he had already written to completion and so far, I've felt no compulsion to keep reading. I will finish it as I am familiar with the characters from the previous books, but it doesn't seem so far to have much to offer anyone unfamiliar with the characters and storyline.

Y'know what? I got bored. It feels like the same story that I've read a dozen times before -- war time, strife, sadness, reunion, other stuff happens, happiness. I'm just not in the mood for this book, obviously.
ETA: Oh, and the switch between present tense and past tense, though I understand WHY, is bugging me.

I picked it up at the library and yep I agree with you I put it down after three chapters and said yep this is bugging me with the switching like tv shows do when they switch back and forth and yeah I agree probably not the best book for me either and for some reason I am loving the street sweeper and am already in the third chapter of that one . I will let you know when I finish it how I liked it . I will say one thing it is different from what I have been reading . I will let everyone know and i will post here . take care and better luck on the reading scale . take care .
Oh, one more comment about "So Much for That" by Lionel Shriver. I knew Lionel is a woman, but amazingly, I kept forgetting through the book that it was not written by a male author. Very few women writers can fool me like that.
