Dark Tower III Volume 3

The Waste Lands

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Frank Muller

The third volume in the #1 nationally bestselling Dark Tower Series, involving the enigmatic Roland (the last gunfighter) and his ongoing quest for the Dark Tower, is “Stephen King at his best” (School Library Journal).

Several months have passed since The Drawing of the Three, and in The Waste Lands, Roland’s two new tet-mates have become trained gunslingers. Eddie Dean has given up heroin, and Odetta’s two selves have joined, becoming the stronger and more balanced personality of Susannah Dean. But Roland altered ka by saving the life of Jake Chambers, a boy who—in Roland’s world—has already died. Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are joined by the same madness: the paradox of double memories. Roland, Susannah, and Eddie must draw Jake into Mid-World and then follow the Path of the Beam all the way to the Dark Tower. There are new evils…new dangers to threaten Roland’s little band in the devastated city of Lud and the surrounding wastelands, as well as horrific confrontations with Blaine the Mono, the piratical Gasher, and the frightening Tick-Tock Man.

The Dark Tower Series continues to show Stephen King as a master of his craft. What lands, what peoples has he visited that are so unreachable to us except in the pages of his incredible books? Now Roland’s strange odyssey continues. The Waste Lands follows The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three as the third volume in what may be the most extraordinary and imaginative cycle of tales in the English language.

Time is a wheel!

This review is for the entire series!

What a beautiful journey! With a lot of spins and turns, but nonetheless beautiful. There are some amazing pieces of imagination there, that will let you think about them, not only for a little while but for a long time. Probably you will wander why only 4 stars then. Well, I would have loved to see more action, and that the books are written more fast paced. They are too descriptive, and takes a long time to get from A to B. I could not say that I burned with impatience to get into the next book, and the next, as fast as I could, but I was still curious, and more than in one occasion pleasantly surprised. #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
