The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower, Book 3)

Rating:
Summary: My absolute favorite
Review: The Dark Tower series is my absolute favorite literature. It's just good entertainment. If you think you don't like Stephen King, try this series. It's not horror, it's fantasy, and even a bit of sci-fi. You may not like one or two parts, but the whole story is amazing. No matter how many are in the series, I will be forever waiting for the next one! That's the kind of hold it gets on you!

Summary: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Captivating
Review: I first learned of these books in grade school and loved the pictures inside. I was too little to realize what a masterpiece this book really was. You care about what happens to the characters and always want to know what happens next. I just started the 4th book and already I can't wait for a 5th. If you havn't read this book. Do yourself a favor and do so.

Summary: Stephen King's best series keeps getting better
Review: This is a completely awesome series!! I've enjoyed each book and they keep getting better all the time. If you have not read the first two books in the series, (The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three) then do so. You won't be sorry. This is not normal Stephen King scary-type stuff. It is more of a mystic tale of the quest for the Dark Tower. King has based the series off of Robert Browning's narrative poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came." This novel continues the story of Roland, Eddie and Susannah as they start/continue on their quest. And amazingly enough, King does the near impossible by bringing back the character Jake who was killed off in the first novel. It is done in a totally believable and very satisfying way that seems natural and fated. It would be wrong if it had not happened. I don't want to give much away but our quartet is now solidly on the path which leads to the Dark Tower. I am very much looking forward to the next novel in the series!

Summary: King & Flagg Together Again
Review: Here is the Dark Tower installment that really stands out. King back to basics, without all the flowery mumbojumbo he's been stepping into in he recent efforts. Not as tedious as the second book, this is a great prelude to Wizard And Glass, which, to me at least, was as fresh as they come. This is his best work since IT. And here's the catch, kiddies, although the cliffhanger ending left me hanging for something like six years, the re-introduction of Randall Flagg from THE STAND makes this effort all worth while. But for those of you who actually think King's geting closer to the Tower with Roland and his friends, stop lying to yourself, he ain't even close yet. There's gonna be another 1,000,000,000 pages before he's through!!

Summary: Dramatic and pulsing
Review: Out of all four Dark Tower books, this is the best. Let's face it, Stephen King gets paid for writting "boo" on a napkin, his only good books in my opinion are the four Dark Tower series, The Stand, Desperation, Insomnia and Eyes of the Dragon. Even though it's 600 pages, it's all important to the main plot of the series. The only thing that really pisses me off is the damn cliffhanger ending.

Summary: A unique world so close to our own exists within the cover!
Review: Surprisingly, this book seemed way too short, although it was physically thick! I read through it more rapidly than most other books, mainly because I could not put it down!
