Thoughts on Wizard and Glass

[popsqueak]

Hi Ho, I was the same as you, read the beginning and end only, my bad... and then went onto the next books. Now I am just about to read Wizard and Glass again, the WHOLE thing, and I cant wait!!

Ok, so far am loving this book! I go to work and think about reading after work! Last night I was so disappointed that I could only read like, 5 pages because I was too tired. Its Ok though.... finished work and am WIDE awake to keep reading!

I finished W&G two nights ago. When I finished the first part and started down the path of Roland's flashback, I said, okay, will this in any way inform Roland's quest for the Tower? Or will it just be a pleasant-enough anecdote to flesh out the backstory?

Boy, does it ever, is the answer to my first question. I was not only surprised by how tangibly it informs Roland's quest, but I was genuinely surprised by the twists and turns.

What a masterful tale. This could be my favorite of the Dark Towers thus far. Though I'm about 100 pages into Wolves of Calla now, and this one is shaping up to be amazing, so I may have to revise that opinion.

I think I loved this book so much because of Blaine but I love the love story too tragic as it may be

wow most you had read the WG for the second same as with, the first time i read i skip several hundred page just to get into the ending, how stupid i had done thi. WG is the best along with Waste Land. Kudos to Mr SK

I just finished this story and OMG!! I absolutely loved it! The Gunslinger has been my favorite so far and DT II and DT III were not bad, but this one totally blew me away!! I loved the story of Roland and Susan, absolutely breath-taking and tears of joy fell from my jeweled eyes(ha!ha!..ok, being the drama queen there!) and then it was heart breaking sadness. I tried to take my time reading it because I did not want this Mid-world and all the characters..but when I was taking a break, my mind kept wandering back to the story and of what was going to happen next and I just didn't want to put the book down. So now I'm finished and now I'm sad that it's over. I feel like going back and rereading it, but it's never as good as the first time...besides, I want to find out what happens next, since the ka-tet have left the land of OZ.

I'm currently reading WG. Definitely a good book, but not my favourite DT.

I am reading the DT series for the first time, and WOW, I loved this story. I am blown-away. I slowed down and let the book sink in, I didn't want the story to end. Now, I am reading DT 5 but I can't stop thinking of Wizard & Glass. I want more Roland, Cuthbert, and Alain. MORE!

every book I read now is read with the voice of Frank miller in my head. This audio book has been played to death in my van throughout western Australia. I absolutely love this book- Frank brought it to life in the most powerful way, and I urge NAY COMMAND YEE to listen to his narration.

the only thing that grates my flesh is the end,

the tick tock man behind the curtain.....this was a wasted character that served no purpose being there in my opinion. I reckon he was a tail from the last book Sai just didn't need, so he just killed him before he lingered and festered. (<3 is this a fart or a heart?)

But Susan and dearborn what a story.
