The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass by Stephen King (EPUB)

Description

The fourth volume in the brilliant Dark Tower Series is “splendidly tense…rip-roaring” (Publishers Weekly)—a #1 national bestseller about an epic quest to save the universe.In Wizard and Glass, Stephen King is “at his most ebullient…sweeping readers up in…swells of passion” (Publishers Weekly) as Roland the Gunslinger, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts his tragic story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who—with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit—ignited Mid-World’s final war. Filled with “blazing action” (Booklist), the fourth installment in the Dark Tower Series “whets the appetite for more” (Bangor Daily News). Wizard and Glass is a thrilling read from “the reigning King of American popular literature” (Los Angeles Daily News).

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The third book in the series really ties together the characters and brings in a rich back story, prepping the reader for the journey ahead! Long days and pleasant nights.

⭐Wow. Just wow. Roland tells a wonderful story here. A story of a chance meeting, forbidden love, and hidden danger. Prepare yourself for a wild ride of emotions! I won’t ever forget the way I felt while reading this book.

⭐Love this book the characters and Kings insanely awesome imagination. Highly reccomend this series. The thing I love the most about this book is the love story between Roland and the only love of his life.

⭐Stephen King builds this image of romance and suspense and then brings it to heart rending reality with a balance of horror and violence that makes the story seem so real. The true horror of the story is that the fantasy isn’t all that fantastical, it’s grounded in real life fears and conspiracies making the horrifying conclusion to Rolands teenage years run home.

⭐The fourth book in the Series. I read this a long time ago and was, at the time, distracted. So I read it again to fill some gaps in my memory about the entire story. This tale weaves such a rich tapestry of feelings, characters and events, that it becomes the key to everything that follows. Don’t read anything else in the Dark Tower series, until you read this.

⭐I loved this book and could not put it down. While reading this book I found myself going back through The Gunslinger to hunt for any little references to Wizard and Glass and I did find some. In my opinion, this book NEEDED to be written for readers to understand the driving force behind Roland’s obsession with the Dark Tower. Its also a beautiful love story and we get to see more of the friendship between Cuthbert, Alain, and Roland. I wish we could have had more of those two in their younger years.One other thing…I don’t know how I am the only reader who is thoroughly disturbed by how Roland turned his back on Susan. He knew she’d been taken but dismissed it (a little too easily for my taste) as something Sheemie would take care of…really? I don’t even think King expresses his grief too clearly. Yes, he screams No! into the ball several times but doesn’t go to town to avenge her death? I’m not convinced that he didn’t knowingly leave her to her death after promising to take care of her. After all, this is the man who let Jake drop to his death. Now I’m wondering if he’ll do the same to Eddie and Suzanna at some point in the future.

⭐only 2.5 books left to go and Wizard and Glass so far is the best of the series!

⭐This tale within a tale played out like a movie in my mind. All the pieces are being aligned as Roland recounts memories of love, terror, and cruely during his first mission as a young gunslinger. His ka-tet push ever forwards (or are they being reeled in?) towards The Dark Tower and I eagerly accompany them through the magic Stephen King’s writing has conjured.

⭐The series just keeps getting better. My favourite of the Dark Tower books so far. Why does Stephen King not write more Westerns? It’s the book I’ve been waiting for since starting the series. Almost entirely set in the past (after resolving the cliffhanger where the previous book ended), this book provides a beautiful, tragic, thrilling, entertaining, horrifying back story that helps us understand so much of Roland’s motivations. And while I love Eddie, Susannah and Jake, it was great to finally see Alain and Cuthbert as Roland’s companions. With at least a couple of uber cool moments as Gunslingers.Does it advance the main plot? Not by much. But without this book, the entire series would probably make a lot less sense. Which makes it absolutely essential.

⭐I read the gunslinger years ago when it first came out. In fact I think I had it on audio tape. Loved it then but there was no more. I have only just found out Stephen king completed the series; although you took your time mr king. The whole thing is emotional I have cried and laughed throughout and didn’t want it to end. A masterpiece for the times and this book was one of my faves although the last one is life changing. Get all of them and hunker down like Roland.

⭐The quest of the Gunslinger and his companions takes a detour as King gives us an insight into Roland’s boyhood, a story which occupies most of this long book. It is fascinating stuff if you are already hooked on the series, a richly imagined society from which the world has ‘moved on’.I found it absolutely brilliant (and ‘The Wind Through the Keyhole’ even better), though the pace is slow at times, bordering just occasionally on the tedious. It would be a mistake to join the series here. Better to start at the beginning, or to read ‘Keyhole’ which is a stand-alone novel outside the series.It is King’s genius to create three-dimensional characters, living in a strange but believable society, that sets him apart from all other writers of fantasy. (Christopher Priest is my other favourite.)

⭐I was always curious whether it was laziness or lack of imagination which makes an author use “thinness of reality” to put people and places from one book into another. I liked R.F. from his first appearance in The Stand, but still wonder if he makes any sense in these books, or was just added as a generic bogey man. After this third reading of this book I still do not know. I`d like better characterisation for him. The section in Gilead takes too much space and barely moves the plot forward. I`d like to like this book so much more, I just can`t.

⭐Fourth in the series and time to throw a curve ball! Tales within a tale… the back story I didn’t know I wanted but somehow now realise I needed!The saga of Roland and Co just gets better, time for book No 5.
