This installment is full of King-ism for better or for worse: a...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“My second-favorite book of the Dark Tower Series after The Gunslinger. Blaine the Train was a really great character.”

“This book drew me in with giddy excitement more so than #2. It's a great read and much fun. It's only marred by King's repeated use of cliff-hanger moments and tendency to always push resolutions to the very end. Almost every time there's a build up in threatening circumstances, you can safely bet that it'll be resolved okay and at the very last minute. It works alright but gets a little tired, like there's several places where he deliberately decides how the screen play for the mini-series adaptation should be written.

I still love this series and am having to fight myself to read the other books sitting next to my bed before I give in and start the next volume. Okay, well I couldn't help myself and read the free Kindle sample on my iPhone. Those Kindle prices are looking amazing right now - $5 - $7 for each of these is a third what I pay for the dead tree versions.”

Don't tell my silly stories and I won't play silly games.
So far this is my favorite in the dark Tower series. Leaves at a cliff hanger that had me begging on hands and knees to go to the library”
“My favorite part of the Dark Tower series. If the Tick-Tock Man doesn't freak you out, Blaine the Mono will.”

“A wonderful tale, better than the last. The rich character development and dangers that they encounter at every turn makes this book a fast and joyful read. However, the train with his obsession of riddles can be a bit too much.”

It was necessary to read because I wanted to finish he whole series and while the conclusion seemed like the best (and most like King) of the seven books, the majority of it was just filler it seemed.”
