I liked Wizard and Glass the first time I read it, loved it the second. Go figure. I think the latent romantic in me awakened somewhere in between readings. Whatever the reason, I was tremendously moved by these adolescent gunslingers, especially young Roland, the second time around. And Susan...oh, my. After finishing this book, I couldn't help myself: I had to write a ballad about her. If I hadn't, I would have exploded.
