Product Description
From Amazon
Frank Muller, the recognized virtuoso of audiobook narration (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption), takes on Stephen King's Goliath tale of sorcerers, time travelers, and sci-fi love. Totaling more than 27 hours and spanning 18 cassettes, Wizard and Glass requires the listener to love Muller's Hannibal Lecter-like voice--either that or suffer in audio hell for the equivalent of three full working days. While some might find his breathy staccatos irritating at best, others will find his voice the perfect accompaniment to King's creepy characters and nightmarish plots. (Running time: 27 hours, 18 cassettes)

From Library Journal
Frank Muller's reading of King's fourth book in a projected seven-part series (e.g., The Waste Lands: The Dark Tower, Bk. 3, Audio Reviews LJ 2/15/92) is effective in creating a suspenseful and fearful atmosphere. We find Roland, the knight errant/gunslinger, continuing his quest to attain the Dark Tower, the source of destructive forces in his Mid-World. A major portion of this work is a recounting by Roland of his ill-fated love affair with Susan Delgado. The writing is expectedly imaginative, the story line engrossing, and the characters vivid. The listener is carried along through alternating Western, urban, and futuristic settings. The work stands on its own, incorporating a summary of Books 1-3, but will be better appreciated if listened to as part of the whole. Recommended for sf/fantasy collections and Stephen King fans.?Catherine Swenson, Norwich Univ. Lib., Northfield, Vt.

Don't be fooled,

This review is from: Wizard and Glass: Dark Tower IV (Paperback)
I loved the Dark Tower Trilogy, and when I saw this on the shelf (a day before my summer vacation, no less) I couldn't wait to get into it. I read a chapter, and still I couldn't wait to get into it. I read another, and another. I never go into this book, and I never finished it (the only reason this gets a 1 instead of a 0). Every chapter was exactly the same. Sure different things happened, but the character developement went absolutely nowhere. Here are the first 250 pages, chapter by chapter. The kid from the wrong side of the tracks screws around with the princess. His friends don't like it (half jealousy, half worry). Her father wouldn't like it. They almost get caught. End chapter. The kid from the wrong... I should take this book off my bookshelf because every time I catch a glimpse of its spine, I ask myself if I should start reading it again. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I know better.If you allow yourself any emotional involvement in this book, it feels like you're beginning a bad relationship and being played every step of the way. I haven't felt this unsure of myself since high school. Should I keep reading, should I move on? Is there something incredible that will make these 600+ pages worth reading? Well, I have a little more respect for myself and my time than to allow this. Maybe I've read too many good authors between Doroles Claiborne and now. Maybe I've just grown up. It's a shame Stephen King's writing hasn't grown up with me. At at time not too long ago, Roland was the man.

One of King's finest works,

This review is from: Wizard and Glass: (The Dark Tower #4)(Revised Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is easily the best work of the Dark Tower series. Political intrigue, adventure, action, love, tragedy. Everything is here.
