View Full Version : I am WORRIED!
Born In Sin
April 21st, 2009, 04:29 PM
OK I am alittle behind the times BUT I am 200 pages away from being done with Wizard and Glass and I can not read fast enough!!!! I am so scared that Susan, Alain, and Cuthbert dies. I can just feel it! I don't think that Roland dies because there are more books after :oo:! I absolutely HATE Susans aunt so much I refuse to learn her name :barf: . Oh and Rhea I am at the part where she refuses to give the pink seeing glass to Jonas and states she must go with him and she has become so obsessed with the glass that she has let her goats die!. I can not wait to finish this, it has taken me a long time to read the DT series (I was afraid SK was going to stop writing and I would have nothing new, so I was saving reading it). I had read the first 3 when they first came out and stopped because it was not finished. Getting back into the series was difficult for me now it is like a run away train and there is NO stopping it. I can't believe I have been so stupid (LOL), you all are probably laughing at me, because I would assume most of you have read this and I am FREAKING out. I don't want them to die. Susan is his love and Alain and Cuthbert BEST friends!!! Say it ain't so. This is just awful I tell you! :vomit:

I am on Wizard and Glass too, and It seems the pace really speeds up. This is my first time through the series, and I'm loving Roland's backstory. It could be possible that Alain and Cuthbert do not die at the end of Wizard and Glass, but maybe at a later time? Maybe their death is explained in another book?

I've only read the first one so far, but in that he says all of them die! lol so you know it's coming. Of course Roland won't die, unless it's in the last book. The series is about him

"...Come reap." Lol.
Sounds like you are enjoying Wizard and Glass. I felt the same as you do when I read it. Torn between dread and glee as I turned each page.
I can't promise that you won't be heartbroken, but it is worth it. You need to see the pivotal events that shaped Roland on his way to that fateful desert where we all met him.
Besides, if Cort heard you talking this way he'd beat you senseless. So just keep reading.
And let us know what you think when your done.

Oh my!:wow:
I want to thank you for your post - simply because like you the Dark Tower were the only books I havent read.
A couple of weeks ago I finished "the Gunslinger" and found it a bit hard going - however at the back of the book there was the first chapter of the next book ..................where Roland is lying on the beach and being attacked by the crablike psycho creature "did a chick...........did a chock"!
That one chapter has "grabbed" me and Im buying the book tomorrow - so hopefully it will thrust me headlong into the series again..........and reading your post has made me all the more enthiastic about it!!!
Thanks again!

I feel your pain, Born in Sin! I put off reading the DT series also; it felt good just having them there in case I ran out of King books. Now I've read books 1 through 6, and I don't want to start the last book because I don't want it to end! Wizard and Glass has definitely been my favorite--savor your time with it! I'll probably start Book 7 next week, then it will all be over and I'll be so sad...:sad:

This is a very good book, and it is hard to anticipate whats going to happen. You know somethings coming your just not sure what, or who will survive to tell the tale.:) I loved this story!

#4 Packs the mo(i)st heat, and please pardon the double pun (triple actually).
That one got to me more than the rest.
I'd wager that was the general response, but I'm new to the community.
Keep readin'!

I think out of the whole series this was the favorite of mine. Keep reading, and enjoy.

I am also on this book, I just don't think there will be a happy ending here. I would probably feel very ripped off it does end well. Don't get me wrong, I like young Roland's ka-tet, but Roland really needs a tragedy in his past to justify the man he grew up to be. I like the journey these books are taking me on, but I don't think I like Roland all that much.

Dark Tower has many turns to it (hope and dispare) and each one is worth it. Hang in there it pays off.
I really enjoyed it and finishing these books brings the greatest reward. It's a little like the "The Velveteen Rabbit" and becoming real.

Born to Sin,
Isn't it wonderful! I felt the way. I LOVED the characters so much and I was SO SCARED. It takes a really terrific writer to make you feel so CONNECTED to his characters. Wizard and Glass is my absolute favorite. The world he created seemed so real I felt I could reach out and touch the wood grain in hitching posts and slap my hand down on the bar.
Keep reading, Born to Sin. It's the ability to make us feel those strong emotions, good and bad, that makes SK such a special writer.
Teddy,
I had the same problem with The Gunslinger and I too was mesmerized by the first chapter of the Drawing of the Three. It's an amazing book and very different from the first book. (which I appreciate a lot more after going back and reading parts of it again.)
Enjoy!

Thanks for that Mary.
Ive just started it - and am finding it completely different! Hoping this lures me into reading the whole set as Ive read everything else!

Good answer! :y:
I'm usually upset if a character I like dies (and Stephen has done this to me a lot) but I always want to know how the story ends.

The second book was my favorite. Long live the Lobstrosities!

I just finished the fifth book yesterday, and I feel the same. I think I know these characters better than any I've ever had the pleasure of reading about-from any author. As such, I've actually been prolonging my reading of the series: I read the first in July, the second in August, the third in October, the fourth in November an the fifth in April. But now I feel the urge to break my habit of waiting. I'm dying to know how the events at the end of Wolves is resolved.
The good thing, once I finally finish the series, it would have been so long since I started, that I can begin again, reading them all through and I would have distanced myself enough that I can glean further enjoyment from them.

Lol. I would say that if you are worried about people you love dying, you better stop reading right where you are at and forsake ever reading King again. If you haven't noticed, somebody always dies. Fairy Tale endings do not exist in Stephen's world, but you already know that. Keep reading friend. DT is a fun ride from start to finish.
The man in black fled across he desert, and the gunslinger followed.....
Blaine is a pain.
