Title: The best of the series, hands down
Review: King handles the first half of this book with a brilliance he hasn't matched elsewhere. I actually read WL before the other two in the series (had to review it), and I'm glad I did -- "Gunslinger" would have put me off of DT altogether, and it really is an excellent series. The Waste Lands hooked me from page one, and the intricacies of Jake's travails in New York... suffice it to say that the whole section leaves me, as a writer, with a green-eyed monster in my head. :) Ned Dameron's illustrations are lush and beautiful; I was very disappointed in the illustrations for the others after seeing these.
