Relation Toward Books Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower #4)
Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Jake’s pet bumbler survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, one that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, they hear the atonal squalling of a thinny, a place where the fabric of existence has almost entirely worn away. While camping near the edge of the thinny, Roland tells his ka-tet a story about another thinny, one that he encountered when he was little more than a boy. Over the course of one long magical night, Roland transports us to the Mid-World of long-ago and a seaside town called Hambry, where Roland fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who—with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit—ignited Mid-World’s final war.

DTProject2017 | Book 4 What a rideThe 2nd longest book in the series, after the last one, and my favourite; the last one comes next.This book starts exactly where the 3rd book stopped, a massive cliffhanger.And everything that happens in it takes place in less than 1-2 days.Out of the 845 pages, 219 of them (25.91%) are the actual story and out of the 845 pages, 626 of them (74.08%) are the (story within a story), the tale of Roland's youth, the one he narrates to them in the course of one(A-) 84% | Very GoodNotes: A slow, but never dull, build to a thrilling climax, it provides the sorely needed back-story lacking in previous books.
There is a kind of echo in the bright air, a yearning for other places in the blood, a loneliness in the heart that sings like the wind.Who is Roland? What secrets are hidden in the past of the last gunslinger of Gilead?The questions are stuck in your mind from the very moment you open the first book in the series and read the best opening sentence ever written. The enigmatic nature of Rolands character is part of what made him one of my favourite protagonists of all time and one of the saving
In the immortal words of The Queen SimplytheBEST.And yet I seem to be the only person who feels that way about this 4th installment of the Dark Tower series. Can you please riddle me why that is, sais? Its not that fans of the series dislike this novel, but I often see it cited as their least favorite. I find that stunning and I dont ken it. I dont ken it a bit.While I love the entire series, this one is easily my favorite. My gushing was so torrential when I read this that I was on an IV drip
Who's a Stephen King fanboy? *raises hand* "I am! I am!" Stephen King has been a hero of mine since I was thirteen. Two decades of idolatry later and I'm still dumbstruck at what this man has accomplished. I do not wish to be like him, or write like him, because mimicry is the failure of self, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want his money. I preface this review with this paragraph because you should know that my love for King's work goes far beyond the reaches of a mere fan. I'm a fanatic
In a sentence: Stephen King does Tombstone (the movie) to great effect.With only about 25% of actual series plot development (or 500 pages sandwiched between plot development), you'd think I would hate this book. Had I not known about this beforehand or had I waited 6 years for more Dark Tower, I'd probably be singing a different tune.Then again, I love me a western and to call them Gunslingers on top of it all (such a cool word), I'm pretty sure I would have loved Wizard and Glass no matter
DNF at 55%Yoo hoo! You know what this is? This is me abandoning the fourth book in the Dark Tower series:Well, metaphorically.It is so frustrating to feel myself forced to abandon this book, especially since things were getting better in the previous one. You see, I thought book 1 was okay, 2 was better, but book 3 was great. I really liked it, so I expected this one to be better, or at least as good as the other ones had been. But no, it was bad.See, the thing is that after the horrible
