Title: a sequel and a prequel!
Product review: Number four of Kings Dark Tower starts off amazing tying up some loose ends. Then the story goes into some reflecting bits. Most of this book tells the story of Roland many years before taking up his search for the Tower. This is a good thing and a bad thing.The Good: You really get to know the mysterious Roland so much better. His back story is exciting and emotional. It also tells a self contained story within the confines of this large series. Characters are great and King manages to keep the suspense pretty high.The Bad: It loses some of the narrative edge of the last two because it really is just a story Roland tells. That means you don't get as much of Rolands Ka tet as you might like.Overall this is just another solid entry into the Dark Tower saga. Constant Reader is entertained.
