Query: An incomplete effort shows lack of respect for readers

It's not that this is a bad book, or that any of the books in the series so far are untenably bad, but the fact that this series remains unfinished after 20 years is absolutely unforgiveable. The Gunslinger was first published in 1982, it is now 2002, and in the intervening years, King has published no less than 36 other novels and collections. King obviously has no commitment to this story, and that has shown in the last couple of books. They are just words down on paper, dragging the story along, without life or passion.If you are the kind of person who would willingly buy a movie ticket, and upon the film breaking in the middle, get up and go home with never another care about how the movie ended, then by all means read these books. However, if you're the kind of reader who gets drawn into stories and actually interested in characters, then I'd suggest passing on these books until King decides if he's ever going to finish the story.
