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).

Yes

At first I had a hard time getting into the flashback. But as I kept reading it grew on me. This is one, I could easily re read again and again. Wonderful.

Weakest of the bunch

This book is a real slog and the pacing gets really rough. It starts off string enough in a fun conclusion to the cliffhanger of The Wastelands. Then it just stops for maybe 500 or more pages of a teen romance back story with less than 20 of those being relevant to the story of the series. It's not a bad book but to stop in the middle of a much more interesting story to tell an old english tale of the simple folk is just hard to get through. The book before and after this are so much better that it makes this one stand out even more.
