Publisher Description
The fourth volume in the brilliant Dark Tower Series is “splendidly tense…rip-roaring” (Publishers Weekly)—a #1 national bestseller about an epic quest to save the universe.
In Wizard and Glass, Stephen King is “at his most ebullient…sweeping readers up in…swells of passion” (Publishers Weekly) as Roland the Gunslinger, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts his tragic story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who—with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit—ignited Mid-World’s final war.
Filled with “blazing action” (Booklist), the fourth installment in the Dark Tower Series “whets the appetite for more” (Bangor Daily News). Wizard and Glass is a thrilling read from “the reigning King of American popular literature” (Los Angeles Daily News).

So I read these books as they were released. But only once. Listening to them now has been an amazing adventure!! I remember falling in love with Roland when I read this one and aching for Sai King to hurry up with the next!!
Filled with love, tragedy, shooting, and mystery, this book is well worth the wait!
I purchased this and only received the first 15 chapters.
Total rip off and scam.
Do not purchase this audio book. It doesn’t even contain 1/4 of the whole story.
Stories should begin where they begin
Pretty boring story overall. Stephen King sort of yeets all of the momentum of the conclusion of book 3 by having Roland tell an extremely long and slow back story. It would have been better if these details were fleshed out with characters I was already familiar with in present time, instead of basically injecting a prequel book into the 4th book of this series. Read reviews online after i got about 40 percent through the book and it seems most people either hate or love this book. Either way, I think this book is the weak and is a far cry from any of his other works. I feel like this back story was lazily interjected in order to make sense of what comes next. All signs point to poor planning. None of these details are foreshadowed in the previous books and this sort makes everything feel amateurish. Most who enjoy the book say it gets better at the end, and to those readers I ask, “if these details are so important, then why weren’t they mentioned at all in the first 3 books?”
