Waste Lands Review

Rating: 4/5
Comments:
Started off slow for me. I actually read this in paperback about a year ago and about half-way through and didn't return to it. I decided to make it my first Kindle purchase. I'm glad I did, the book ends much better than it starts out and leads perfectly into the 4th book Wizards and Glass which I purchased after ending this one.

PLEASE READ!!!!

This is a great book! Sadly it is the last great one in the DT series. So my warning to fans of The Dark Tower books is this: DONT read books 4-7! You will be horrified at what King does to the wonderful charachters and world that he has created. But if you must continue the story after 3 then go ahead and read 4. It really isn't that bad but it's sure is no match for 1-3. 5-7 is complete garbage and should have never been written or published.

The Waste Lands is my favourite in the series. I love the plot and the cool stuff that Roland and his "ka tet" find along their journey.
it really is a great addition to the DTs. But once again 4-7 will only dissapoint. Some things are better left unfinished. Mr. King should have relized that when he decided to (SPOILER) put in Harry Potter snitches, lightsabers, and the most annoying way of talking ever in book 5.

This epic series had such momentum and it really is a shame at what happens to the quality of the story in 4-7. So please please please don't read them!!!!

Interesting Third Book

This book isn't my favorite in the Dark Tower Series, but it does have some very good qualities. The concept of Blaine the Mono is definitely intriguing. I also like it's attitude, and how that particular character, in some form, keeps recurring (if only in the other characters' analyses of artificial intelligence later in the series). I liked the idea of the "test of wits," i.e. the logic puzzle, for the fate of Roland's Ka-Tet, but this has definitely been done before.

I would have liked some more explanation of how the Tick-Tock man and the man in black are intertwined. The city of Lud also interested me greatly, and I would have really liked a little more exploration of this world.
