Summary: The Dark Tower: The Lord of the Rings of this generation
Review: This book, the fourth in the Dark Tower series is one of the best books ever written. Along with the plot, what makes this book so good is its connections with other Stephen King Books. The Dark Tower is the point in existance where a dimensions connect, so it is fitting that there are so many connections with other books. The superflu from The Stand. Richard Fannin (RF), an incarnate of the villians from many of his other books. The Beast, the Keeper of the Tower, seems much like the Deadlights from It. We can expect more connections in future Dark Tower Books, and see how it all truely connects if Roland's companions conquer the Tower. King, hurry up and finish the Series. PLEASE?

Summary: Another great book
Review: This book was a really great one. Despite the bad reviews it has gotten on this webpage, the book undoubtedly connected the Roland of Gilead to the Roland first glimpsed on the trail of the dark man. The audience has had no idea what has shaped this character into a seemingly unfeeling, gun-toting, difficult SOB, but now we can see some of what has influenced his choice of the Dark Tower as his quest. Roland emerges as an empathetic character, to which most people can relate. We see the human side of Roland. Great job, Stephen King! This book advanced the character of Roland, if not the plot of the search for the Dark Tower. I can't wait until Dark Tower V comes out.

Summary: Stephen "KING" if the name fits, wear it.
Review: Stephen King truly is the best. The Dark Tower series is fabulous and, with the addition of Wizard and Glass, continues to get better. No story writer has the ability to grab your attention and pull you into a story better the Mr. King. Wizard and Glass took a detour into Roland's life and it was well worth the trip.

Summary: Spectacular!!!!!!!
Review: This is by far the best Stephen King book ever written. The Dark Tower Series is one of the best! It draws all of his books into one, interlocking all of the stories in your mind and following through never dropping you off the edge suddenly with an abrupt ending. When will the next in the series appear???????

Summary: Second only to The Stand
Review: This series has definately been his best work, with the exception of the Stand. SK should drop his other projects and finish this series! My addiction to all the Flagg stories demands to be fulfilled!!

Summary: spellbinding
Review: My review will add little over what others have written, except to indicate that I am amazed at the insight demonstrated in this sequel to the Dark Tower series. In particular I find it fascinating that King alludes to the Glass even in his Wasteland story, although briefly. Yet, he doesn't complete this fourth series for several years. I am amazed at his presence of mind to continue this story in the depth he does. Kudos to Stephen King - I agree that this series even tops "The Stand", one of the finest stories ever told. I eagerly await the next release.

Summary: MY least favorite of the four books in the series so far...
Review: Hi! I've read most of SKs books and i like most of 'em and love some. Just like many people i like the Dark Tower series a lot. This entry didn't quiet do it for me. It covers the time when the Gunslinger was young [14 years?!]. If u read part 1-3 u gotta read this one ... Maybe the story wasn't told all that well, maybe i just wanted to hear more about the current affairs.

Summary: Tolkein?
Review: Why is everything connected to Tolkein & friends? Every other review says that King is either better than Tolkein or that King doesn't deserve to lick his boots. If you love Tolkein so much, go reread Lord of the Rings and don't bother with King's books. It's not like King needs you as a fan. That goes for all the other writers he's been compared to (Heinlein, etc.) too.Besides that, I think Wizard and Glass is a great book and I am looking forward to the next one in the series.

Summary: Well worth the wait.
Review: King has talent unmatchable in any style of writing. I was surprised and pleased with the Romantic aspect of the story and didn't want the book to end. While Wizards and Glass was worth the wait, I hope we don't have to wait this long again to re-enter the life of Roland, or any character from Kings imagination. The love story itself could stand alone for those not interested in horror.

Summary: It Will Never End
Review: Wizard and Glass was a good read, if you care not about the future of the series. Even though Mr. King feels he could actually end this series in his lifetime, I seriously doubt it. It is definately the best in the Dark Tower series, but there is a reason for that. The novel tells the story of Roland's first love, when he was young, and therefore the wonderful characters of his youth are with him. Cuthbert and Alain are exellent characters, whom you wish to discover more so than the droll companions which accompany the older Roland on his quest to the Dark Tower. I would much rather find out what happens to those childhood companions than see what awaits the merry crew in the Dark Tower. Mr. King must realize this as well, therefore he will spend the next couple of novels telling the story of their demise. That leaves him little time to tell the REAL story. Frankly, that's fine with me. When Roland stops reminicing about his troubled past, I'll stop reading about him.
