The book was great, right up until page 337, or rather, where 337 should be. My book goes from 336 to 305-336 a second time, and picks back up on page 369!?!?! I've lost a large part of the book here, and I'm very disappointed. I'm going to have to go to the library and read that section there. Now I've got nothing to read for the rest of the night. Sad, sad day.

Very different from Stephen King's usual writing style, it even felt different from the first Dark Tower book. Personally, I wasn't so crazy about this one, but I read it to understand the Dark Tower better (and it really does explain a lot about Roland and the Tower.) Other people have really enjoyed it, though. It seems to be either you love it or hate it.

the dark tower is my all time favourite work of fiction, even more gripping, in my opinion, than lord of the rings. high praise indeed, but worthy i feel. wizard and glass was bought for me on its release and as a result it was the first of the dark tower books that i read. for me it is the best. i have been alarmed to hear talk of the dark tower being made into a series of movies or a series for tv. i believe this would be a very bad move. the dark tower is so wonderfully complex and in parts, deeply obscure. i really do not believe it could translate to screen without seeming convoluted and losing so much of its magic. i do however think that wizard and glass would make a wonderful movie in its own right, solely chronicling rolands adventures in mejis. sam elliot would make a perfect eldred jonas. how i would love to see that
