"Worth The Wait"
While I am not one of King's greatest fans, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Dark Tower/Gunslinger series. I was very excited to find this book and it did not disappoint. It fills in very necessary gaps in Roland's history in an exciting and entertaining way. It also can be a stand alone story, with all of the usual elements necessary to a good read; love, adventure, tragedy and heroism. A very enjoyable book.
