There is no real connection other than the close names. I read book four right when I got out of basic training. I got through the whole thing in about 26 total hours. When I got books 5, 6 and 7, I started on 5, took a while to read it, then moved on to 6, and ended up calling in sick to work on a Friday and had finished the series by Monday morning. I have been obsessed with these books since I was about 12. When I started coming up on the end of book 7, I almost had to fight myself to keep reading. I had had my own vision of how it would end and didn't want Stephen King to **** it up. I ended up getting through it and I guess it ended almost the only way it could.

Book 2 was the first one I started on, but it didn't make any sense so I put it down. I ended up finding book one a few days later (my mom had boxes full of King books, some first prints and some signed). I read that one, then moved on to 2 and started having to wait for the next book. I almost couldn't believe how fast he put out the last 3 with how long it took for the first 4. There are very few King books I havn't read. When you look at the book list inside the covers of the last 3 DT books, you will see how many of them tie into the DT series. It is almost as though all he could think about was this series.
I'll tell you this much; the series is very long, but I don't regret one minute I spent reading it. It will grab you and pull you in. Sometimes it might even make you question reality.
