I struggled between this and The Dark Tower. Also, the Gunslinger, due to the sheer importance of the beginning of the tale. Is it just that people find Roland's history to be so interesting? I wonder what it is about this book that I like so much, in ways it has little to do with the tale, yet at the same time a lot to do with it if you know what I mean. I will re-read this series, I just finished it for the first time through today, and I'm exhausted, seriously mentally exhausted from the adventure I've just been on. It makes me want to reread the other series I have collected over the years just on the basis of the excitement of getting into them again. I am tempted to dive back in but I think I would drive myself as mad as Roland is to find the darn tower! Does anybody else feel that way after finishing? Of being drawn to just start over?

Considering we only had pieces and portions of Rolands past and what
brought him to seek the tower and become the mysteriously brutal man
we came to know in the first three books...

Wizard and Glass gives us all the reasons and closure to his personality,
as far as I'm concerned. If I were the author W&G is almost a good first book
but as it is it's a great middle piece of the series.

His ka-tet came to understand why he was the way he was and sometimes
understanding a thing is more important than knowing a thing.

W & G's plot left me speechless... I didn't expect King to go back in Roland's childhoold and to describe his romance with Suzan. He gave me full of emotions in the 4th book.

I was surprized and although I'm not easily touched by romances or dramas or... whatever, that book, believe it or not, made my cry. Yes it did. I didn't expect from myself to react like this, but... it just happened. This reaction of mine, proved me once more time King' s true talent .

It was very strong book, I read it in 2 days *and I paid it with extremely pain behind my neck, but it was all worth of it!*. After I recovered, I picked up the 5th book and I went on reading!

I absolutly agree W&G was the best of the books with all the emotion. It was very important to find out where Roland had come from and his past so that you understood how great of a journey it was to get to the dark tower.

It's good and my second favorite of the series. I opt for "Wolves of the Calla" as my favorite of the bunch. Just somethin' bout a pretty lady and a sharp plate I reckon!

Loved this book. It is certainly one of the best in the DT series and possibly one of my favourite SK ones, period. I think that what gives it an added zing is the slow dripfeed of information about Roland's past in the first three books.

The love story between Roland and Susan is convincing and tragic. Sai King must have been 40 or 50 when he wrote this. How hard is it to perfectly relate the feelings and taboos of teenage love in one's middle age?

I loved Roland's ka-tet in the book and how Susan became a divisive figure in the boy's friendships. It just works on so many levels that I could write a dissertation on it!

I loved the whole series of DT. I got a little problem to get into the stories with the first one. But when I start with the second book I totally start to like the series very much. Wizard and Glass was actually my favorit of the whole series.

I enjoyed the entire series as well, but my favorite of the books remains The Drawing of the Three. This one would probably be tied with the first book for me.

I gotta agree! Wizard and Glass, my favorite SK story!
