I quite enjoyed the third novel in the dark tower series。 It was full of action and kept my attention。 But， the end got a bit weird for me and I don't know why but I didn't enjoy it so much and the ending wasn't really， good， like if I read this when the book was first published， I wouldn't wanting to know exactly what happens on the next page because King kind of told us what will happen for the first like 10 pages of the 4th novel。Anyway I enjoyed and am interested to see what the series will I quite enjoyed the third novel in the dark tower series。 It was full of action and kept my attention。 But， the end got a bit weird for me and I don't know why but I didn't enjoy it so much and the ending wasn't really， good， like if I read this when the book was first published， I wouldn't wanting to know exactly what happens on the next page because King kind of told us what will happen for the first like 10 pages of the 4th novel。Anyway I enjoyed and am interested to see what the series will take itself now！ 。。。more

I think this one was kind of slow。 But I enjoyed it still。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Het boek begon langzaam， maar aan het eind is ie toch moeilijk neer te leggen。 Vind de man-ontmoet-hond-in-dystopie trope een tikkeltje cliché， maar dat kan ook komen omdat het tegenwoordig soort van gestandaardiseerd is in films

Cada vez me atrapa más esta saga。 Un gran libro más de aventuras que de terror pero con un buen desarrollo de personajes e interacciones disfrutables。 Las situaciones me mantuvieron muy atento y el imaginarme a las criaturas fue algo fantástico。Es cierto también que ocurre la maldición de King， el final queda a deber， pero tengo fe en que en el cuarto tomo se resolverá。Pasé momentos muy agradables al leerlo。 Muy buena historia。

This is the best book of the Series so far。

Still don’t know how I went through my late ‘80s Steven king obsession without reading the Dark Tower books！ So glad my sister Katelyn recommended I read it！ These are weird and scary and fun to read; some of King’s best writing， too。

Just one word "Awesome"。 This book has jaw dropping suspense。 First encounter with the supernatural & monsters， the character development（esp。 Eddie） and end with a nail biting cliffhanger。 All that you need in a book is here。 Happy that I took the series to read at this time， can't imagine waiting for 6 years to read the next book！！ Just one word "Awesome"。 This book has jaw dropping suspense。 First encounter with the supernatural & monsters， the character development（esp。 Eddie） and end with a nail biting cliffhanger。 All that you need in a book is here。 Happy that I took the series to read at this time， can't imagine waiting for 6 years to read the next book！！ 。。。more

I am fascinated with the split dimension and time travel。 The characters are very real。 I’m not sure I like them， maybe because they are too real， but I do feel I know them。 On with the quest！

E' certamente il romanzo più movimentato， più ricco di pericoli e personaggi bizzarri e pericolosi， nonostante un titolo che indicherebbe il contrario。Ancora qualche tassello per un enigma infinito e pieno di fascino si aggiunge al mosaico dopo lo scontro con l'orso guardiano， quando il cavaliere rammenta le filastrocche di quando era bambino: ci sono dodici portali ai confini del medio-mondo， ognuno dei quali presieduto da un guardiano; da ogni portale parte un Vettore， linea immaginaria e magi E' certamente il romanzo più movimentato， più ricco di pericoli e personaggi bizzarri e pericolosi， nonostante un titolo che indicherebbe il contrario。Ancora qualche tassello per un enigma infinito e pieno di fascino si aggiunge al mosaico dopo lo scontro con l'orso guardiano， quando il cavaliere rammenta le filastrocche di quando era bambino: ci sono dodici portali ai confini del medio-mondo， ognuno dei quali presieduto da un guardiano; da ogni portale parte un Vettore， linea immaginaria e magica， fino a congiungersi con il suo opposto; nell'intersezione dei sei vettori sta il centro di tutto， la Torre che regge l'equilibrio delle forze del medio-mondo e di tutti i mondi conosciuti。 In questo la mente di Roland è ancora lucida， ma rasenta la follia quando ricorda di Jack， il figlio simbolico che ha già visto morire due volte ma che tornerà di nuovo nel suo ka per proseguire il viaggio。Il terzo capitolo della saga， Terre desolate， non perde niente del fascino suscitato dai primi due romanzi。 Stephen King continua a narrare la storia di questo strano mondo， in cui si fondono elementi western ad altri di magia， azione e pericolo all'ineluttabilità del destino。 Il viaggio prosegue nelle lande dominate da morte e desolazione， alcuni enigmi vanno a posto， altri emergono， ma la meta sembra più vicina。 。。。more

4。5， by far the best one so far。 I absolutely love this series and am so hooked。 I loved the foreshadowing of Blaine the Mono。 Very glad to have jake and Rolland back。 Genuinely this book has been such a good escape in a time of so much stress。 Just following my Ka I guess。

These。。 Books are amazing on an astronomical level。 They are comparable with the Harry Potter series， that good！ Although i will say I'm almost finished with The Waste Lands， and that's more than what I read of Harry Potter。。 Even though they are both a beautifully intricate series。 These。。 Books are amazing on an astronomical level。 They are comparable with the Harry Potter series， that good！ Although i will say I'm almost finished with The Waste Lands， and that's more than what I read of Harry Potter。。 Even though they are both a beautifully intricate series。 。。。more

This one was a bit rough， wasn't it？ I'd heard that this is the "make or break book" for the series， the one where you're either all in on The Dark Tower or the one that pushes you off it for good。 Despite being three books in I did feel a bit of fatigue on Stephen King right now， having read a bunch of his books this year and with a whole lot more to go。 I'm wondering how much of that is the sense that this book is still cleaning up messes King leftover from the first volume。 In so many ways th This one was a bit rough， wasn't it？ I'd heard that this is the "make or break book" for the series， the one where you're either all in on The Dark Tower or the one that pushes you off it for good。 Despite being three books in I did feel a bit of fatigue on Stephen King right now， having read a bunch of his books this year and with a whole lot more to go。 I'm wondering how much of that is the sense that this book is still cleaning up messes King leftover from the first volume。 In so many ways that felt like a prequel that created issues and King had to use this book to clean up a lot of what happened there。 Hell， the concern of the first full half of this book is picking up pieces to put them back in order here。 The second half is more interesting， but it was the sort of travelogue I don't enjoy so much （and really， once you've read The Stand all other King travelogues really pale in comparison） and it was action-packed in ways that felt like King was padding out the book。 To complicate that further， the entire last sequence felt like King coming to the end of the rope and realizing that it was just time to stop for now。But all of this underscores the really horrific scene of sexual violence in the middle of this book。 It was upsetting in the way that King's handling of the subject generally is， in ways that feel gratuitous even if there's story that is going to come out of it。 At the end of the day， it's the sort of thing that feels gross and offputting despite him trying to make such a sequence empowering。 It's。。。 not empowering。 And I know that because if he had shuffled the characters in the scene around it would have highlighted those problems all the more。 Depsite all that this was。。。。 fine。 It's nice that it feels like we're in a place now where the sort of "standard" adventuring can happen。 I thought that at the end of the last book we'd gotten to that place， but I guess I was off by half a book。 C'est la。 Onto the bullet train to the future。 Stephen King Ranking1。 The Stand2。 It3。 Misery4。 The Shining5。 11/22/636。 The Drawing of the Three （The Dark Tower 2）7。 Needful Things8。 The Eyes of the Dragon9。 Everything’s Eventual10。 The Waste Lands （The Dark Tower 3） 11。 The Gunslinger （The Dark Tower 1） 。。。more

More uneven than The Drawing of the Three， but it makes up for erratic pacing with grand scope。 This is the first time in the series that King really expands the world and adds depth to it。 There's a burst of action from the get-go， and then a calmer middle section， followed by another flurry of gunfights and a talking train。Also， as far as cliffhangers go， this is a good one （though， I find it both befuddling and amazing that King takes this cliffhanger and decides to spend almost the entirety More uneven than The Drawing of the Three， but it makes up for erratic pacing with grand scope。 This is the first time in the series that King really expands the world and adds depth to it。 There's a burst of action from the get-go， and then a calmer middle section， followed by another flurry of gunfights and a talking train。Also， as far as cliffhangers go， this is a good one （though， I find it both befuddling and amazing that King takes this cliffhanger and decides to spend almost the entirety of book four focusing on backstory）。In short， The Waste Lands has a lot of good stuff in it that， even when messily executed， helps define how unique and exciting this series is。 。。。more
