This installment is full of King-ism for better or for worse: a...” see full review » see other reviews » |
“Doesn't get any better than this, folks. (Google Chrome shut down and didn't save the long - and great - review I had already written here so I need a little cool down before trying to repeat it.)”

This will always be one of my favorite books in the series, and is the one that caught me completely.”
“this book is crazy, dramatic, graphic ,disturbing, action packed and halarious! don't read it if you don't like swear words or have a weak stomach.”

A decent continuation of the story picking up just after the events of The Drawing of the Three. While the setting of this series is (so far anyway) too far-out to lend any sense of reality, King once again does not disappoint in his ability to create characters with whom you can empathize. Despite the surreal adventures the fellowship keeps experiencing, you can't help but fall into step with them as they run across one weird situation after another. They take it all in stride and, as a result, so does the reader.
Considering the abrupt cliff-hanger ending, I am very glad not to have read these books as they were being released!

“This book is not my favorite in the Dark Tower Series. I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe it's just that it doesn't feel like a lot happens for the length of the book. Blaine the Mono makes a lasting impression (with his load of children who might be laughing or might be screaming), but I just don't feel this book the same way I did The Gunslinger or The Drawing of the Three. Still, it's not a bad book and does advance the journey to the Dark Tower.”

It's too long and there are tens of thousands of words that should have been cut and I just can't muster the energy or the interest to continue wading thru it. ”
