From Amazon.com

Wizard and Glass, the fourth episode in King's white-hot Dark Tower series, is a sci-fi/fantasy novel that contains a post-apocalyptic Western love story twice as long. It begins with the series' star, world-weary Roland, and his world-hopping posse (an ex-junkie, a child, a plucky woman in a wheelchair, and a talking dog-like pet named Oy the Bumbler) trapped aboard a runaway train. The train is a psychotic multiple personality that intends to commit suicide with them at 800 m.p.h.--unless Roland and pals can outwit it in a riddling contest.

It's a great race, for the mind and pulse. Movies should be this good. Then comes a 567-page flashback about Roland at age 14. It's a well-marbled but meaty tale. Roland and two teen homies must rescue his first love from the dirty old drooling mayor of a post-apocalyptic cowboy town, thwart a civil war by blowing up oil tanks, and seize an all-seeing crystal ball from Rhea, a vampire witch. The love scenes are startlingly prominent and earthier than most romance novels (they kiss until blood trickles from her lip).

After an epic battle ending in a box canyon to end all box canyons, we're back with grizzled, grown-up Roland and the train-wreck survivors in a parallel world: Kansas in 1986, after a plague. The finale is a weird fantasy takeoff on The Wizard of Oz Some readers will feel that the latest novel in King's most ambitious series has too many pages--almost 800--but few will deny it's a page-turner. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

First Sentence
The town of Candleton was a poisoned and irradiated ruin, but not dead; after all the centuries it still twitched with tenebrous lifetrundling beetles the size of turtles, birds that looked like small, misshapen dragonlets, a few stumbling robots that passed in and out of the rotten buildings like stainless steel zombies, their joints squalling, their nuclear eyes flickering. Lire la première page

1.0étoiles sur 5 King has lost his edge, Déc 28 2001
Par Jay Kraxton (Overland Park, KS United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Dark Tower 04 Wizard And Glass (Paperback)
Sometime around the publicatin of "IT," Stephen King's books started losing their punch. I would buy one of his novels, thinking, "All right! Stephen King rocks! This is gonna be great!" Then, I'd find that the story was shoddily assembled, and the conclusion usually nonexistant. This was especially true with Wizard and Glass, but this one was much worse for me, because I had picked up the first three DARK TOWER books and read them shortly before its release. It seemed to me like THE DARK TOWER series was doing incredible, as long as it was the source material for the other books' tie-ins.

Now King has taken THE DARK TOWER and started bending it to fit the other books he's written. As a result, he's compromised the structural integrity of the storyline, weakened the characters, and soiled what was (up until the release of DT4) an incredibly wonderful series of books.

And what the hell was the Wizard Of Oz tie-in about? That's like something a fourth-grader might come up with...not somebody who is supposedly "the master of all suspense writers."

I have no desire to read anything else King writes in the DT series. It's been ruined for me.

This review is from: Dark Tower 04 Wizard And Glass (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.

This review is from: Dark Tower #4 Wizard And Glass (Mass Market Paperback)
I had to purchase one book in the Dark Tower Series to fill in my collection. I am enjoying re-reading the series in order as Mr. King took a long time to write each book. I am just finishing the Wastelands and will move on to Wizard and Glass. I admire this author's imaginative writing skills and recommend this series to everyone who is a Stephen King fan. Enjoy
