Summary: Pretty Incredible Stuff
Review: King writes about love, deciet, loss of innocence, and the nature of the human heart, areas he has not explored so thoroughly as in this recent Dark Tower installment. I think King was working out some issues throught the medium of this novel, and he made me feel every last emotion that his characters felt, especially Susan. Although this may not be the next gunslinger installment we all wanted to read, it was the next logical step in King's mental process. Hopefully King will let us enter Roland's world once again in the immediate future. It's a fun place to hang out for a few hours.

Summary: Read the review and see ;)
Review: I will admit this is not my favorite of the Dark Tower books, but I did enjoy it and I want to respond to some of the complaints people seem to have about it.First, the art. I don't know how many of you know this, but Dave McKeon gained accliam as the front cover artist of the Sandman graphic novels for DC. His work is *very* experimental, but always eerie and grotesgue. For a dark series like Sandman, it worked well, giving the reader a gothic atmosphere before they even opened the book. The choice for him as illustrotor of Wizard and Glass, I'll admit, is a bit strange but also innovative and brave. It's not typical for a novel to be illustrated in such a way, but then, it's not a typical novel either. Which brings me around nicely to my next point. The reason I started reading the Dark Tower series was because it was completely different than any King I had read before. Don't get me wrong, I love his other work too, but the Dark Tower seemed at once more disturbing yet more immediate than some of his other novels. The Dark Tower's (and in turn Wizard and Glass) strength lies in its ability to to look into all the various nooks and cranies of King's imagination and bring everything together into a common universe. To me, the greatest scene of the novel was where the wanderers finally escaped Blaine the Mono, only to find themselves in the middle of The Stand. Now for the criticism. Like I said before, I like this series for its a-typicalness, but unfortunately, this novel went bac to King's more coarse style that he usually uses for his other books. After such a long wait, it was a bit disappointing. And frustrating. I really, *really* want the story to move forward now, rather than flashback. And, okay, the Wizard of Oz stuff was a bit goofy. Still, overall, I liked it. And as a suggestion: if you haven't read it for a while, go back and read the Gunslinger. Find all those tantilizing references to Roland's past that really annoyed you the first time around. And I think you'll enjoy this foray into Roland's young adulthood more, as some of those things are finally brought to light. Suggestions: Any of the other Dark Towere novels, Pet Cemetary and The Shining(for vintage King), and The Eyes of the Dragon.

Summary: Can't wait to start # 5
Review: Mr. King has begun an amazing series of books that he just cannot wrtite fast enough. The Dark tower series gives an idea of what our world may be coming to. While reading this series the reader will become involed in scenes that are really more like I every day world is becoming but no one really wants to admit. If we're not careful we may revert back to the times of the gunslinger but this time the gunslinger will be the only thing that stands between us and the evil that threatens to consume our world.

Summary: Ho hum - The last 50 pages were worth it
Review: Alright...I admit that some background is nice but a whole novel dedicated to it? I found that this installment in the Dark Tower series was pointless and boring. The story itself was very well written but could have been narrowed into 100 pages. Compared to the other Dark Tower books..this one pales in excitment and intrigue. Shouldn't the novel focus more on "The Dark Tower" (hence the title of the series) and less on Rolands past? I must say that the last 50 pages of the novel was worth the monotany of the the first part. Hopefully the next installment will be more of how they get to the tower and less of a history lesson.

Summary: A GREAT book! I couldn't put it down!
Review: This book shows just what a master Stephen King is of modern horror. It's amazing how he can keep this story going even after a decade and a half and 2,00 pages. If your a fan of King's work, you'll be reading this book from start to finish non-stop!

Summary: Remarkable. King proves he's capable of writing about love..
Review: This book takes a while to get going. It begins where part III ended (inside Blaine, the Mono) and then takes a truly unexpected turn - we get to hear of the Gunslinger's past, and this is where the book becomes totally absorbing. The bittersweet love story at the heart of this tale of Roland's traumatized adolescense may well be the most touching thing King has managed to write yet. Seldom has a book so successfully sucked me into its plot, that I raced through its 800 plus pages in a day an a half, pausing only to have the odd meal in between. Read this.

Summary: LEAST FAVORITE OF STEPHEN KING'S COLLECTION
Review: I've got to admit that I was waiting with baited breath (for years!!) for Wizard and Glass. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by this book. I found it slightly boring. The general story was great but I felt that there was far too much detail. Usually I love the detail that Stephen King goes into - it adds to the story - in this case I felt that it was mostly filler. This, however, does not put me off - I greatly look forward to the next in the series and Stephen King remains one of my favorites!

Summary: this book appeals to all of your senses, imaginative!!!!!!!
Review: "Wizard and Glass" is hard to put down from the beginning! It captures your attention from the start and never lets go. The imagination used in this story is outstanding and forces you to use your own imagination. The descriptions are very vivid and the characters seem like real people. Stephen King at his very best!!!!!

Summary: Black olives and their relation to modern communism...
Review: If the source of all joy in the world wrote a novel... It wouldn't be this book. Partly because it's the fourth installment in the Dark Tower series and I assume the source of all joy in the universe would be a little too busy to write a series of novels (and if he did I'm sure they would come out a lot quicker than the novels in this series.). And also partly because the source of all joy in this world is a selfish bastard who cares for nothing but satisfying his own sick needs. But I digress. This is a wonderful book and a wonderful series. It's definatly the only book I've ever read where I was on the verge of tears at certain points. Simply put: Read this series. If you like to fall into what you're reading, Become one with the world and it's charectors, then you will love these books. Wizard and Glass is especially close to my heart because it's one of those stories in a series where it all begins to fall together. Like finding the essential pieces of a puzzle. Very bloody cool man. Stephen King has created a masterpiece. That's about all I can say at this point.
