Average Rating: 4.72 out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An amazing novel
Book Three of the Dark Tower Series continues where the second book left off, more than just the plot. Roland's mythical world continues to grow and become real. King develops his characters, giving them more depth and reality. What really seperates this work from other fantasy series that I have read, is the direct connections between our world and Rolands. This series is no longer out of reach, there are people from our world there. Additionally, King shows the pains and results of a world that has moved on. My favorite parts of the novel concern Jake; both his coming to Roland's world and his chase in Lud.

What happens. Susan begins the novel by shooting one of the twelve guardians. Roland then finds the path of the beam and follows it two Lud. Before they reach it, Jake and Roland begin going insane. Since Mort died before he pushed Jake, Jake was never killed, and never went to Roland's world, but he did. Jake is brought into Roland's world and the problem is gone. Jake is kidnapped on the bridge leading to Lud, Roland finds him. Susan and Eddie find Blaine. Blaine is train they must travel on past the wastelands, but he is a suicidal train. The book ends with the a contest for their lives. A riddling contest.

King's novels are fast paced and do not waste time on pointless details.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another of King's Masterpieces
This is the third book in a great series. The Dark Tower series is the best book series I ever read. The book has lots of action, lots of mystery. The book was really well written and the descriptions and the array of words used were really well chosen. The plot is very confusing if you do not read the first two books. The third is definitely the best book of the three. It is much more gripping then the others. I finished it in five days the others I read over a longer period of time. Its ending is much better ad leads you to read the next book a lot better then the other two books. This was one of my favorite Stephen King books and I would recommend any Stephen King fans and anyone who likes a good science fiction novel to read it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - King is THE KING of fantasy
After recuperating from the final door confrontation (see THE DRAWING OF THE THREE), Roland trains Eddie and Susannah on how to survive as gunslingers. All goes well until a seventy 70-foot-tall bear attacks Eddie. Susannah and Roland team up to kill the bear, who actually is one of the twelve guardians of the beams.

The gunslingers follow the bear's trail, which takes them to a portal that enables the trio follow the Beam, a line of energy that connects pairs of portals with the center being the Dark Tower. They now know the way, but it may be too late. Roland seems to be losing his mind as a paradox he caused by saving Jake's life on earth has begun to eat at his brain because dual memories of death and rescue seem impossible. They need Jake to complete the team, but to do so they must construct a door where a demon resides.

The third book in Stephen King's great Dark Tower series continues the adventures of Roland, but this time he has associates to help him complete his quest. Though well written and quite exciting, THE WASTE LANDS somewhat feels like a middle book needed to move the tale forward. Still, Mr. King shows why he is more than just a horror guru as he displays his talent as a fantastic fantasist with this novel and the first two books in this strong allegorical series that stands up well with his best works.
