Title: Will the real Stephen King please stand up?
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. The first three volumes in the Dark Tower saga are some of my favourite King novels of all time. Unfortunately, Wizard and Glass will not join them. DT4 starts off great, concluding the tale of Blaine, the psychotic, riddle-loving monorail. From there, it moves on to a long, drawn out flashback that contributes very little to the mythology of the Dark Tower. Lastly, just when it looks like we may get back to the real story, King slaps together a truly awful Wizard of Oz scenario. If you're looking for a sappy romance with a heavy helping of B-Western tragedy thrown in, give it a shot. However, if you're expecting more tales of adventure in Midworld, wait for the next volume. You won't have missed a thing. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't like a single King book since Needful Things. Wouldn't it be ironic to find that his talent was buried in the ruins of Castle Rock?
