The book arrived as described. It was next to new condition for a 10 year old book. Shipping was fast and resonable. I bought the book because I have the others in the Dark Tower series and wanted to have the complete collection.
I got the book in a packaging that was riped up. Also the book it self was in shaby shape half the book was riped off the cover. So i would not recomend this person again.
This is the 4th book in the Gunslinger series I have found all of the series to be written in typical Stephen King with plenty of twists and lots of things to think about there is sorcery and devilment but alot about human nature too. A good prequel to the series is " The Eyes of the Dragon " it talks of the gunslinger's life before the world 'moved on'........... Lots of references to other King books and to me that just makes reading them all a little more interesting. This is my first book review so I am not sure what to say. I have most of his books and already had this one but I had lent it to "some one" and I dont remember who and now that I have purchased the last book in the series I would like to read it all again( as I did each time I got a new one of the series I think i could recite the first book by heart lol) and I was missing this one so that is why I looked to ebay for another copy. It is not a stand alone book and you need to read the rest of the series but if you start at book one... The Dark Tower... The Gunslinger... you will be hooked. I will start at the begining again....The Dark Tower and it begins " The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed"......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I loved being able to read through the journey of Roland and his katet. The reason the I bought the book was so I could continue reading the dark tower series in the order that it was made to read.
loved the book i just finished all of the seventh book tonight this was the first time i ever read stephen king this is a wonderful series the dark tower
If you haven't read the rest of the Dark Tower series, then before reading this Book 4, you must go back and read the rest! If you've already read them, then I am guessing you're as hooked as I am.
Wizard and Glass begins where The Wastelands left off - on board Blaine the Mono, with Roland facing off to Blaine and showing his true strength and courage. The first chapter alone is thrilling & this one is a page turner right through to end.
Finding themselves in America, but not as we know it, the ka-tet face more challenges from the start & we start to get glimpses of those other worlds. Fans of King will recognize characters & signs from other books, all connected somehow to the Dark Tower. Hail the Crimson King....
And on one never-ending night, Roland finally sits down and tells the tale of Susan, Cuthbert & Alain. When the book slips into the past, I was at first a little upset at leaving the path of the beam. But the story of Roland as a young gunslinger, with his trials at such a young age, will let you see another part of him that certainly made me love the gunslinger as much as Eddie, Susannah & Jake do.
